PHOENIX, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire/ — TriWest Healthcare Alliance will spread holiday cheer to children and spouses of fallen Service members as a presenting sponsor of Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band concert at this year’s Snowball Express gala. TriWest will also sponsor counselors from the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) at the event.
The Snowball Express is an all-expenses paid event in Southern California from November 30 through December 3, with the purpose of bringing together nearly 1,500 military family members who lost spouses, fathers and mothers.
On Friday, Nov. 30, TAPS counselors will conduct voluntary morning gatherings for children and spouses at the families’ local hotels. Later in the evening, all of the families will attend a special dinner in their honor, including a private performance by Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band at The Grove in Anaheim, Calif.

LDB Updates:
Gary is also scheduled to return to Epcot Center this year for the Candlelight Processional, December 23-25.
Finally, even though we haven’t been blogging about it, we’re well aware of the persistent Star Trek rumors… you can stop emailing us about them, honest! 
We’re told that official announcements will be made at Comic-Con next week, so that should settle the matter one way or the other. (And just for the record, I’d personally be thrilled if it were true.)
We’re still here, but there’s not been much news lately. A couple of quick items:
Those of you in the area, don’t forget that the Lt. Dan Band will be playing on July 21 at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Illinois. You can find more information here.
We’ve also been told (oh… 500 times or so… please stop e-mailing now!) that announcements about the Star Trek XI cast will be made in late July at Comic-Con. It will be nice to move from rumors to facts.
Gary’s currently in Europe with the LDB on a USO tour, and will be heading on his own to Iraq for the USO in the next day or two. He’ll be back in the States for Memorial Day weekend, which for Gary will include the GI Film Festival and acting as Grand Marshall for the National Memorial Day Parade.
After that? A well-deserved vacation before returning to the set of CSI:NY. (We hope he has a very relaxing and enjoyable one!)
As you may recall, we’ve been rather skeptical about the Star Trek XI rumors, filing them under “speculation” — we can now confirm that’s all it was. Gary recently confirmed to the Washington Times that his casting as Dr. McCoy was a “bad rumor.” (Oh! Since I have sort-of an excuse to link to this — if you haven’t seen LOL Trek, you really, really should. I haven’t seen anything quite so funny on the Internet in a long time.)
Finally — I can’t seem to resist pointing out that people are actually still asking this question.
Thanks to the ever-faithful and diligent Glenda, we have some photos for you of the recent concerts at Joe’s in Chicago and the Steppenwolf gala.

(Thanks to those who’ve left a Guestbook entry thus far — see the prior post — as an experiment, it’s going really well!)
The Lt. Dan Band currently has the following dates scheduled:
They are also planning a European USO tour for this summer.
Get out and see the LDB — you won’t be disappointed!
