The performance of Mocidade Alegre stands out not only for its artistic expression but also for the strategic preparation and execution that led to minimal point deductions, particularly in the aspects of evolution and rhythm, where many other teams struggled.

This triumph adds to the rich history of Carnival in São Paulo, highlighting the intense competition among the top samba schools. The outcome not only celebrates Mocidade Alegre's artistic prowess but also engages the local community in the vibrant culture of samba, reinforcing the importance of such events in Brazilian social life.
