However school could not count on such luck in their parade: where one of the floats caught fire and fire will become uncontrollable. and many wards had to squeeze in give way to the car of the Fire department, while this delay resulted in the loss of 13 points in the timing and these points lost the school to 9th.

For both, the club changed his interpreter and one of the floats, which would represent the victims of Holocaust, was banned by the justice after proposed action by Jewish groups, who took the car to be offensive.
With the departure of Paulo Barros the school is lost and embitter a demotion, in the year 2010. a tribute with Mexico a parade of dubious level done by Júnior Schall and Edson Pereira.[8][9] However in this parade had a controversy with the choice of the queen of battery Julia Lira, only 7 years, the daughter of Marco Lira.
