Prior to I begin to speak about buying carnival costumes I have to discuss a little bit about the competitors kept in the wonderful samba arena Sambódromo yearly.
The images of hundreds of individuals flaunting the most fancy as well as colourful outfits is well spread around the world. Mostly all these images have their origin in the annual carnival ceremony competitors. Fourteen so called samba institutions all try to please the courts as well as get the highest possible score. Qualities like motif, music, drum area as well as synchronization is judged. Yearly one shool from the so called Grupo de Acesso (2nd division) get advertised as well as the last of the 14 in Grupo Especial (initial division) is relegated. On Circus Saturday the second division ceremonies and also on Sunday and also Monday it ´ s the very first department
. The ceremony (or desfile) of each college lasts about 60-80 minutes. It consists of a number of vehicles as well as sections of around 200 people each where everyone wears a particular outfit. A few of these areas are open to everyone so you can purchase on your own a costume as well as get involved.
I did this 5 years back, and also it is a memory for life. Me as well as my friends paraded with Alegria da Zona Sul, a second department school with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. Dressed in gold shoes as well as smooth red as well as white garments we all satisfied outside the large samba stadium Sambódromo. Standing outdoors waiting to enter you could really feel just how every people assumptions were high, an entire year of practice and also prep work had actually been developing to this minute.
Hours as well as hrs of waiting and then the fireworks noting the start of each institution began. Our drum area started, 250 man solid hammering away. We all began to sing the song we had actually been informed to discover. Gradually our ceremony began and before we understood it we were in the stadium. Vocal singing, dance and also grinning before 10s of countless people we gradually made our means down the lengthy parade street. More than 60 minutes later on it mored than. It resembled an explosion of colour, music as well as explosion that was over, we returned home to our buddies level in Leblon.
In retrospect I can easily claim it was among the higher experiences in my life. What I could have done better is to learn a bit more about the background and also customs of the circus ceremony, particularly regarding the particular institution I chose. I put on ´ t assume going in the less expensive Grupo de Acesso minimized our experience, I've in fact listened to that you are offered much more flexibility in these given that the bigger colleges are so affordable they manage you more.
The photos of thousands of individuals parading the most sophisticated and vibrant outfits is well spread around the globe. Nearly all these photos have their origin in the annual carnival ceremony competitors. Me and also my good friends paraded with Alegria da Zona Sul, a 2nd division school with their base in the favelas hippies kostýmy in Copacabana. What I might have done better is to learn a bit more about the history and traditions of the carnival ceremony, specifically concerning the certain college I went with.
