2009 Samba Parade Results


The Samba Parade is a glorious competition in between the Rio samba schools, for which the scores are given by the judges.
There are ten categories in which the schools are judged.

There are 4 judges of every category (altogether 40 of them) and they are spread along the samba run-way in the Sambodromo, in their booths.

Scores are given on a scale 5-10 (with fractions), 10 being the best one.
