although usually
these samba schools can't achieve the level of exuberance of the
sambódromo they still tend have more material and human
resources than those of the lower groups, offering the public
some quite impressive spectacles.
among the historical samba schools associated
with group b are those like the g. r. e. s. unidos do jacarezinho, the
g. r. e. s. acadêmicos de engenho da rainha, or the g. r. e. s. unidos da
ponte.
