with seating for 2700 people, sector 11 is one of the favorite grandstands of cariocas who love to hear the orchestra set the beat for the night.

in fact, the best feature of sector 10 is being next to the 'recuo da bateria' (orchestra's retreat), and area where the marching orchestra stands for about half the parade.

the orchestra playing next to sector 10 and setting the rhythm for the parade adds a level of energy to the already effervescent night. 

sector 2, 8, and 11 also feature an additional food court with two to three restaurants each.
