Dan Band visited numerous locations across Envoy\u2019s network where music fans (also known as Envoy employees) were happy to greet them upon arrival.

\u201cWe had an Envoy Embraer 170 charter with a very special guest onboard. It was an awesome experience, and it was wonderful to work with our team from the System Operations Control (SOC), Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band members. It was a true pleasure,\u201d said ART General Manager, Cheryl Weaver<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.envoyair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_2023_08_GSF-Lt-Dan-Band-Charter-ART-02-400x251.jpg\")

Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band in Fort Liberty, NC.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAfter their visit to ART, the Lt. Dan Band did a three-city tour. They visited Fort Liberty and Charlotte, NC and closed the tour in Erie, PA on September 11th for First Responder Appreciation Day at the Highmark Amphitheatre at Liberty Park. With the concert open to the public, over 3,000 people were in attendance.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was such an incredible honor uplifting local first responders of Erie, PA, on September 11th during our Gary Sinise Foundation First Responders Appreciation Day. The 22nd anniversary of the attack on our country was spent connecting with folks who answer the call every day, and the families who sacrifice alongside them. A huge turnout for our concert! It was a joy to see this wonderful community having a great time celebrating their local police and fire departments\u201d, said Sinise<\/strong><\/a> on his Instagram account.<\/p>\n\u201cThis is the second charter that I\u2019ve had the honor of working. They have both impacted my life greatly\u201d, said Chicago O\u2019Hare (ORD) based Flight Attendant<\/strong>, Twyla Balstad<\/strong>, who was part of the crew on the three-city tour. \u201cThe energy at the concert on September 11th that was expended by the band was soaked up by the crowd. I can\u2019t even begin to describe it, it was an incredible experience\u201d, she continued.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.envoyair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_2023_09_GSF-Lt-Dan-Band-Charter-03-400x267.jpg\")
