“We jumped at the opportunity to work with such a promising musical organization here in our own community,” said Tabor Stamper, President of KHS America. “This corps has a bright future, and we look forward to contributing to it.”

Drum corps fans can look forward to a wall of sound produced by the corps' new Jupiter Quantum brass line, consisting of 26 trumpets, 16 mellophones, 22 euphoniums, and 16 tubas, as well as a full Majestic front ensemble backed by a 19 piece Mapex Quantum battery.

“Music City staff and members alike are excited to be performing this year exclusively with Jupiter brass, Mapex drums and Majestic front ensemble percussion instruments,” said Keith Hall of Music City. “The corps is grateful to the entire team at KHS America for all of their efforts in getting Music City equipped for the 2011 season.”

The Quantum Marching series was introduced in 2008 and is now widely used in DCI, WGI, and DCA as well as among countless top schools and universities across the country. Jupiter, Mapex, and Majestic Quantum models are the official instruments of the Macy's Great American Marching Band and the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band.

"Partnering with one of the world's most respected marching musical ensembles validates our continued commitment to the development of quality instruments," said Tabor Stamper, President of KHS America, Inc, home of Jupiter, Mapex and Majestic. "With the fierce competition in the market today, we are honored that the Crusaders have chosen our world-class marching instruments."

The Boston Crusaders Drum & Bugle Corps, founded in 1940, is the third-oldest junior drum and bugle corps in the nation and is one of the charter members of Drum Corps International. Their mission is to provide members with an opportunity to reach their highest potential through a dynamic and unique combination of artistic, athletic, and life goals unique to the organization.

"We are very excited to work with the folks at Jupiter, Mapex & Majestic," said Tom Spataro, Executive Director of the Boston Crusaders. "There is a clear commitment to the marching arts as well as music education and that is a commitment that we at the Boston Crusaders share. The quality of the instruments and the service we've already seen from our new friends at KHS America is truly outstanding, and I know our fans will like what they hear."

"The tuning on this marimba is great, and it is an absolute joy to play," said Carneiro. "The low register resonance is very stable at all dynamic levels, with a nice and neutral sound."

Pedro has appeared throughout the world as a solo classical percussionist, performing at venues in Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States. He has also recorded with several of the premier orchestras in the world, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Helsinki Philharmonic, Vienna Chamber Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra.

"We invited Pedro to perform on our marimba at the Marimba 2010 International Festival, and he was outstanding. It was a great opportunity for us to begin discussing future possibilities," says Christopher Hankes, Concert Percussion Product Manager for Majestic USA.

General Manager of Majestic Holland, Peter Vulperhorst adds, "This is an important relationship that we have been working along with our Portuguese distributor, Road Crew, to cultivate. We are honored to partner with a percussionist of Pedro's caliber, and to have him performing on the M8650H marimba."
