Brighton Carnival

Brighton Carnival burst back onto the city streets in Summer 2007 as a huge, colourful parade including hundreds of local and international performers weaved its way through the Lanes and onto Brighton seafront, culminating at Hove Lawns with a finale stage performance from Brasil's very own Monobloco.

At Carnival 2008, Brighton School of Samba were crowned 'Best Large Band' winners in their first Carnival parade, and as Brighton Carnival continues to grow and become a highlight of the Brighton summer in a vibrant celebration of life, it represents a major annual focus for the Brighton School of Samba.

Join Brighton School of Samba at Carnival in Summer 2009

Traditionally, the School conceives a theme for the Carnival parade and develops its 'enredo' (carnival song), designs and makes costumes for all the parading sections of the School including the Bateria, Commissao de Frente, Ala Passista, Ala Baiana etc., so there are plenty of ways you can be involved with the Brighton School of Samba at Carnival 2009, including:

• Parading as a member of the Bateria by attending our drum workshops
• Parading as one of our dancers by attending our dance workshops
• Helping the School to design and make costumes for the parade
• Musicians and composers for the development of the School's enredo for 2009
• Helping steward the School on parade

If you are interested in participating with Brighton School of Samba as a performer or in any other capacity at Brighton Carnival in July 2009, please email info@brightonschoolofsamba.org.uk.
