The school champion this year was the Unidos da Tijuca, with the plot that talked about the Secret. The second place went to the Rio Grande

The vote that started very disputed, had Mangueira in the emerging leadership isolated from a question on Harmony. Nevertheless, when it came to the item set the school was eventually defeated by the Unidos da Tijuca and Beija-Flor.

But when it came to the item in allegories and props Beija-Flor ended up with several grades and Unidos da Tijuca took the lead alone.
