ORANGE CRUSH® TYBEE/SAVANNAH WEEKEND 1: THE OFFICIAL RETURN, THE RESET, AND THE REBRANDING OF THE SEASON
(Operations + Identity + Structure Edition)
Weekend 1 in Tybee/Savannah is more than an event — it’s the official return of Orange Crush® to its home market with full structure, full organization, and full trademark control. This weekend sets the public perception of the season, the reputation of the tour, and the relationship with the City of Tybee Island and the Savannah region.
This article defines how the weekend works, how it’s controlled, and how it introduces the new 2026 operational model.
I. WEEKEND 1 — BRAND PURPOSE & STRATEGIC ROLE
Tybee Week 1 exists to:

✔ Introduce students, travelers, and locals to the 2026 tour identity
