2012 Teams

Once a year, the legendary Deloitte Dragons are roused from their slumber from deep within the bowels of Chinatown to compete in the Annual Boston Dragon Boat Race Festival. Comprised of the fiercest Accountants, Consultants, and Tax professionals within Massachusetts, the Dragons are hand-picked by the Gods (on a first-come, first-served basis). Following a rigorous, year-long training period that involves countless hours of computer work, ten-key data entry, Dragon Boat maintenance classes, reviews of financial documents, and wood-chopping; each Dragon is trained for two things: 1. Delivering excellent client service and 2. WINNING!!!!

The Emerson College Lions Dragon Boat team is made up of students, faculty, staff, and alumni representing the nation's only college devoted exclusively to communication and the arts.  In its second appearance at the Boston Dragon Boat Festival, the Lions seek to honor the tradition of dragon boating, while celebrating Emerson's commitment to community, diversity, and teamwork! ROAR!

This year marks the 8th consecutive year that SCCHC has participated in the race; we were also a participating team at the 1st Dragon Boat Festival, no figerglass boats back then!
