It allows students of any background to participate and take their performing to the highest levels of musicianship. “Opportunity for everyone” has been the philosophical backbone of 马克斯 since its inception.

Xaverian的音乐 had very humble beginnings. It started in 1994 with 24 student musicians and one performing group. Now it boasts a student body of 800+ students with 24 different performing ensembles. The groups range from the youngest performers to groups who play some of the most challenging repertoire in each ensemble.

Xaverian的音乐 develops skills such as discipline, 听, 合作, 承诺, 领导, 奉献, and perseverance in a structured approach that will challenge students to reach their highest potential. Students obtain knowledge that they will be able to use for the rest of their lives in whatever careers they may choose. 一项由美国农业部进行的研究表明.S. Department of Education using data on more than 25,000 secondary school students found that students who report consistent high levels of involvement in instrumental music over the middle and high school years show significantly higher levels of mathematics proficiency by grade 12. Students who have participated in the 音乐 Program have typically been at the top of their class academically. 事实上, many of the students involved in the 马克斯 program have received music scholarships to the colleges of their choice, even though they may not be studying music full time. There is also a strong correlation between a student’s involvement in music education and strong standardized test scores.

Community Service Component

There is also a community service component attached to each group. All groups perform at community functions numerous times throughout the year. 马克斯 students have the experience of giving back to both the school community, as well as society at large. 每年 many of the groups perform at many local NYC events including parades, 养老院, 和医院. 马克斯 is proud to be the official band of the Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the Brooklyn Ragamuffin Parade. The program performs annually at the Tunnel to Towers Run, numerous 9/11 Memorial events, the Police Officer Chris Hoban Memorial Run, Fleet Week events for our military, the Salvation Army Kettle Kick Off, and at various functions at Fort Hamilton Army Base. 每年, 马克斯 holds a Car Wash and BBQ for the community, as well as an end-of-year BBQ and awards ceremony.
Performances at Noteworthy Venues

马克斯 has been honored to perform at the White House twice. Xaverian’s musicians also had the distinct honor of playing for Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis’ arrivals to New York City. The groups have performed at such noteworthy venues as Madison Square Garden, 汉默斯坦舞厅, 国家美术馆, 好时公园, 巴克莱中心. 马克斯 has also received international recognition, with the 爵士乐队I and the Doo Wop Chorus performing in Japan during the 2005 World’s Fair.
