Bateria Vai Vai Ensajo

Bessie has just attended this ensajo which lasted until 12 midnight! And just to give you an example of how much work everyone puts in to become champions, check out the YouTube video clip (below). Take note of the Porta-Bandeira (flag bearer) and Maestre-Sala (escort) dancing to the beat... this goes on non-stop for at least 5 hours! Watch the bateria members closely... they make beating the pandeiros with a drum stick look so easy.
