Destaques must be in good shape. They are always on the spotlight, and they cannot stop singing and dancing until they leave the runway. Individual stands on a float are known as queijos. The main floatee's queijo may be eight meters high, about the same height of a three-story building. Did we say that costumes are very expensive already? They are. Very. Huge shoulder pieces (esplendores) are attached to the queijo, since the mid-eighties. They learned the lesson when floatee and luxury costume competitor Mauro Rosas lost his balance and had a fall from over 20 feet (he survived). The destaque shares the float with flocks of floatees in coordinated costumes.
