In March of 1999, members of the former Soul Crowd Band of Loreauville, LA gathered for a reunion party at the old hot spot in St. Martinville, LA called the Signorelli Club(Slicks). The attendance and response was so great that we decided to regroup and Darryl Ransonet came up with the name GTO and D-STREET BRASS. In September 2001 we were given the opportunity to perform for a record breaking crowd at Downtown Alive Lafayette.

Probably the most significant factor in determining GTO's longevity came about when we performed for a wedding reception in New Iberia. The band marched the entire wedding party, including guests, from the church to the reception hall. We never thought the young generation would actually like our music. They were quoted as saying "We love that 'old school' music, the horn section, the girl, and all the movement and excitement." That was the springboard which lead to many more referrals. And now after performing for weddings throughout the state, even in Texas and Mississippi, GTO is now recognized as one of the premier wedding reception bands in South Louisiana.
