Wayne Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Press Release Florida Dragon Organization 11 August 2008 Florida Dragon Organization Coming Back After One Season Hiatus Just last week, FDO Executive Director Wayne Wildt announced that the entire DCPI Division of the Organization will be coming back into full competition this coming eleventh season. The DCPI Division of the FDO will be fielding four corps with three junior corps (FDBattalion, FDRegiment, and FDCadets) and one senior corps (FDAlumni Brigade) that will be competing in DCPI's CLASS ACT. The FDO will have many plans for this coming season, but unfortunately, all of the FDO ensembles will most likely be competing on a limited schedule (due to real-life obligations in the Spring Semester), but will ensure the audience of nothing less than a top-caliber show from all of the FDO corps! A bit about the corps for next season...
