The was demoted from the special group of and will compete in the Gold series in 2026. The school, which had returned to the elite in 2024 after 53 years, ended the investigation on Wednesday (5) in the last place. This year, the association presented the plot “Egbé Iyá Nassô”, a tribute to the Terreiro of the White House of Engenho Velho, the oldest Afro-Brazilian temple active in the country. The parade highlighted the story of Iyá Nassô, founder of the first candomblé yard of Brazil, highlighting the resistance of the black people and the strength of African women in the preservation of faith and cultural identity.
The school faced technical difficulties, including sound problems on the avenue. In the investigation, they lost points in items such as allegories and props and harmony, receiving only four notes 10 among the 36 possible. The final score generated dissatisfaction on the board, which abandoned the calculation table before the disclosure of the notes. In an official note, Unidos de Padre Miguel said he entered Sapucaí “with claw, emotion and the strength of his community,” he acknowledged failures, but considered the notes received “unfair.”
“We knew it wouldn’t be easy, we recognized that we committed some flaws, but nothing that justified the notes so low and unfair we received. The result of the trial is unacceptable and does not match what we present on the avenue. What we saw in Sapucaí was a decent, vibrant and exciting parade, recognized by the public and so many lovers of the carnival. Unfortunately, the jurors did not see the same way, ”protested the school, which promised to continue working to return to the special group.
