The Event: Took part in the Rio Carnival by joining the Escola de Samba ´Salquiero´. Standing in formation and waiting for fireworks to signal us to move, we had a quick crash course on some of the words to sing along with the Salquiero theme samba song. On turning the corner into the main street with towering grandstands on the left, and high blocks on the right forming booths for supporters, the sound and the atmosphere was incredible. The samba beat thundered and the crowds sang along, while we walked/danced about 800m of the parade.
The Result: Salguiero came 2nd to ´Beija-Flor´ overall in the competition.
