Teachers and students will wear a common t-shirt with the CONTEST logo on, and on top of it they’ll wear a vest, indicating their country of origin, which will be taken off. When the last team as greeted the audience, from the back stage the first notes of Tiritomba are played then its modern lively version overcomes and the children start a flash mob on the stage and among the audience. At the end of the song they take a previously assigned position, standing behind the orchestra and start playing and singing the CONTEST version of TIRITOMBA, in the different partners’ languages and English
