You tell us what you want us to say, and we'll take care of it. Does the band require a deposit? Yes, we require a $300 deposit to hold the date. Both parties will have a signed contract and we be in contact with you two weeks prior to the wedding. What are your fees for the different Pricing Options? Please call 210-488-4388 for these options. There are so many choices to dictate the price of GPS playing for your reception. Ex. how many band members, total time of reception party, location, cocktail hour... Can you play acoustically for cocktail hour and then full band after dinner? Yes we can! While booking the band, please let us know you would like this option on the contract. GunPowder Soup also plays for many fundraising events, corporate/convention events, birthday parties, and galas.

They have a great sound, great singers and can play anything. Ours is a non profit fund raiser and we have all ages at the party. Great band to dance to and they get in with the crowd.
