HARMONY
A very relevant sector
Harmony is a very important aspect of carnival parades.
It is the way in which the members of the school parade, considering whether or not they are in tune with the rhythm and singing of the samba de enredo.
The entirety of the voice sung by the school during the presentation is also an element considered for the evaluation of harmony, that is, the group must sing in a single voice.
The rehearsals for this item at Águia de Ouro are aimed at ensuring that no one sings out of time with the drums.
FRONT COMMISSION
The presentation of the parade
The front commission is a requirement presented by the samba schools, where they present themselves welcoming the public as well as the judges.
It is made up of ten to fifteen people, who demonstrate the school's plot.
The costumes are rich, according to the school's plot, the members rehearse choreographies related to the story presented.
The Águia de Ouro Front Commission is made up of dancers, who begin the parade with the highest quality, under the command of Choreographer Ruy Oliveira .
ROOM MASTER AND FLAG HOLDER
João Carlos and Lyssandra Grooters
The Mestre Sala and Porta Bandeira couple appear wearing costumes that represent the nobility of the 18th century, but with the beauty of magnificent ornaments.
During the samba school parades, the couple performs a special performance for the judges, dancing softly to the rhythm of the samba, performing the obligatory steps, such as wiggles, turns, half-turns, bows and turns. The couple is also judged on the harmony between them, the integration of the steps, the protection and courtesy that the man gives to his lady and to the flag of the School they represent.
At Águia de Ouro, the couple João Carlos Camargo and Monalisa Bueno bring a unique beauty to their presentation that will enchant anyone.
DRUMS
The Heartbeat of School
Through the Drums, the cadence and rhythm of the samba are marked, to infect the dancers, revelers and members, so that they can put on a beautiful performance.
When they enter the avenue, the pulse of the first-rate surdos, second-rate surdos and third-rate surdos; tambourine, cymbal, repinique, rattle, war drum, cuíca, agogô, reco-reco, pandeiro and triangle, excite everyone who watches the show, bringing excitement and making sure that no one can stay still.
During the parade, the Águia de Ouro Drumline encourages and encourages the school's members, ensuring that all the members present a beautiful evolution, following their intense rhythm, as Master Juca Guerra knows how to do in an exemplary manner.
CARNIVALESCO
The person responsible for the visual design of the parade
During the parade days, there is a lot of talk about the figure of the Carnival Designer, but not everyone understands the tasks involved in this profession. Responsible for everything that the school presents, he puts together the entire visual aspect of the parade, including concepts such as colors and harmony.
From the costumes of the members, through the front commission or the master-of-ceremonies and flag-bearer couples, to the great highlights on the tops of the floats, all the elements of the samba school have to go through the hands of our carnival designer André Machado .
Today the parade has enormous logistics and the public that attends the avenue expects nothing less than a great spectacle.
INTERPRETER
The voice of the Samba Handler
Encourage the members of the samba school and the public, transmitting through their voice the history and love they have for their association.
Being a performer means being a specialist, who must have the natural talent of having a good voice and master the rhythm and tone appropriate for samba. The task is not easy.
And that is why, after many years of use and with the evolution and specialization of Carnival, the term samba puller (as the older ones called it) is being left behind.
The interpreters of Águia de Ouro, Douglinhas Aguiar and Serginho do Porto , convey a unique feeling that excites not only the members of the school, but also the entire public on the avenue.
OLD SCHOOL
The Guardians of the School's Identity
The old guard is of fundamental importance to Águia de Ouro and to the preservation of samba culture. Its members have the mission of transmitting the history of the groups to the new generation, keeping the traditions of Brazilian Carnival alive.
In general, the old guard participates in the parades in a wing that closes the procession.
Each school has its own criteria for accepting members into the group. At Águia de Ouro, the basic requirements take into account the years of service provided to the association. Thus, founders and members who have distinguished themselves are always invited to the parade in a position of honor, wearing formal attire.
