Recently, the Jupiter/XO family lost a cherished member. Lance LaDuke was not only an incredible musician, educator, and brass enthusiast; he was a true friend of the KHS America team. His exuberance for life, consistently positive outlook, and genuine desire to engage with all around him made him a stranger to no one. Lance actively helped us develop and grow the XO brand. He was an advocate for Jupiter Band instruments and the epitome of everything we try to represent as a company.

The KHS America Academic Alliance recently teamed up with two of their long-standing Drum Corps International partner ensembles to provide tickets for band students to attend DCI competitions in order to aid in school band program recruitment and retention.

KHS America, U.S distributor of XO Sophisticated Brass Instruments, is thrilled to announce the launch of our XO Kruspe Wrap Professional French Horns 1651, 1651D, 1651N, 1651ND.

KHS America, Jupiter Winds and XO Brass are proud to announce partnership with Mo'Horns to perform exclusively on XO brass instruments and Jupiter saxophones. Mo'Horns, founded in 1991, includes trombonist Marvin Thompson (now playing an XO 1634LT), saxophone player James Cheeks (using Jupiter JAS1100SG alto and a JTS1100SG tenor), and trumpeter Theljon Allen (playing the XO 1600i).

Over a decade in development, these horns are receiving high praise. The XO Brass Double Horn is the horn you've been waiting for.

In his new role, Mr. Andreas will oversee all Sales and Marketing activities for KHS America's Educational Division including Jupiter, XO and Azumi Winds, Mapex and Majestic Concert and Marching Percussion, Sonor Orff, and the recent addition of Nuvo Instruments.

In an effort to continually provide useful free resources for band directors, KHS America has been working diligently to build upon their Virtual Education Series that was launched last spring. This new season of the series will focus on relevant topics and offer stimulating interaction with top experts.
