The visit to the quadra includes a pagode show that opens the spectacle at the house, followed by the drumming show at around midnight, featuring the queen of the drums - always a local celebrity. Throughout the night, professional dancers perform on the school floor to ensure the best rehearsal in preparation for the world's biggest carnival party on the samba runway.
