This year, many members of Bateria Lucha marched with Jorge Alabe 's Grupo Samba Rio samba group and Maisa Duke's Energia do Samba in the San Francisco Carnaval 2007 Grand Parade, then played a stage show later in the afternoon. This year, our "victory" is complicated by the fact that technically, the dancers we accompanied and the musicians were 2 separate contingents. However, in terms of the percussion, we are honored to have won 3rd place for music in the "Brazilian contingents" category! Furthermore, the dance contingent won 3rd place overall for Brazilian contingents. Congratulations to everyone who participated! Start: 5:00 pm
End: 7:00 am
Becca's finally outta school! Let's BBQ! Bring something to eat (grill-able stuff), drink, or just chill out after Carnaval. There will be some firedancing once it gets dark, so don't be afriad to come late, though we probably won't save you any of the tasty meat or vegetables! Unknown 510 220 7498 Start: 5:15 pm
End: 5:55 pm
Jorge Alabe's Grupo Samba Rio will be performing at the SF Carnaval festival at "Stage 6" (near 22nd and Harrison). This will include our "Samba Show" (more complicated breaks and arrangements), our Samba Enredo (theme song), and dancing by Maisa Duke's Energia do Samba dance company. Hope you can all come to support us before heading off to the various after-parties. ;) Start: 6:00 pm
End: 11:00 pm
After the parade and Grupo Samba Rio's stage show, we're all invited to attend an after party at the wonderful home of Sherry and Tallulah. This is the same fantastic location where we had our after-party last year. It's officially the after party for the Maracat's maracatu contingent, but all Luchistas (and Grupo Samba Rio-ians) are welcome to attend. There will be food, beverage, relaxation, and probably quite a lot of impromptu music. It's a long walk or a very short drive from the end of the Carnaval festival where the stage show will be happening (which is also close to where we start), so if you find parking near the staging ground, it should be pretty easy to just get back to the cars and head to the party. Hope to see you there! Definite Start: 6:30 pm
