The Bateria - Viradouro School



Every school has a bateria, or drum corps. This float is 40 m long and holds 300 percussionists! But the amazing thing is that when it came into view it was empty, and the 300 drummers marched onto it while it was moving. Then half way along the parade area, they marched off and then back on again as the float advanced so that the other half of the stadium could see them do it! This was my favourite school by far. They placed 4th in the competition.
