Change in the order of parades

Liga-SP released the parade schedule for this Saturday on its official website and in a post on its Instagram account. On the social network, some people pointed out that the change, in which schools will not follow the order as normally happens, occurred to separate the fans of Mancha Verde, which becomes the first of the Special Group to perform, and that of Gaviões da Faithful, which ends the night.

Liga-SP did not respond to comments on the publication. When contacted, he did not return to explain the change.
