THE ORANGE BOOGIE – August 20-22,2004

Come one, come all. Everyone is officially invited to attend the 3rd annual Orange Boogie in Skydive Orange, VA. AKA the Fabulous Annual Boogie In Orange, this event has proven to be a blast in its first 2 years, and this year we’ve got even more in the works. Something for everyone is an understatement!

We’ll have 2 turbines and a chopper to get us to altitude, our regular fabulous Super Otter will be screaming into the skies as usual, joined by George and Sue’s Beech 99 to help keep down the wait, perhaps even contributing to the occasional formation load. Plus, the Alouette II returns as well! Check it out www.jumpthechopper.com.

Guy Wright will be load organizing for the belly flyers! For those that came out for his previous “Wright Attitude” big way events at Skydive Orange and up at the Ranch truly know how amazing this guy really is!

Andrew “Steak” Staich of Speedcurve Productions and formerly of Elsinore Sakibomb will be load organizing for the freeflyers! Andrew is a home-grown Orangian that knows the skies over Orange well and we’re excited to have him back again!

Friday is a full day of jumping, so plan on taking the day off and coming out early. Friday night we’ll kick off the party after sunset load with the new…yet strangely familiar sounds of Jekyll and Hyde! Aptly named for its two very different sounding lead singers, this band has some former members of Electric Bacon.

Saturday morning the chopper arrives around 10am! Load organizers will be up and running, so wake up early grab an orange slice for breakfast and put on your jumpin shoes! Saturday sunset usually means a Swoop-n-Chug, so sign up early if you’re interested cause this usually fills up fast.

Registration will be running all weekend and is only $25.00. Besides all the craziness mentioned, this includes a boogie bag with boogie bands, Orange Boogie t-shirt, tattoos, inclusive Saturday dinner tickets, and other surprises.

After the sunset load Saturday, Skydive Orange welcomes a local band from Charlottesville - Down ‘Til Now. Making their first appearance at the dropzone (someone explain the beer rules to ‘em), Travis and company will be jamming into the night. For more info www.downtilnow.com.

And what would an Orange Boogie be without a theme party right?!? Arggh Matey, Its pirates and mermaids this year! Hit the party store and stock up on the hats, hooks, swords, vests, anything with a skull and crossbones on it, big pirate earrings, parrots, and all the goodies, there are TONS of funny things at these party stores. I’ve also seen the shell bikinis for the mermaids out there! We’ll meet all the “Pirates of the Cariboogie” at the Black Pearl (aka the tikibar) for the regular mayhem, ARHHHGGGG!!!

We might even see the Red Bull folks and perhaps even a gear manufacturer or two make an appearance as well. Like I said, something for everyone! Hope to see you at O!
