Philadelphia’s All-City High School Band surprises Yannick Nézet-Séguin on his birthday! 

I love how he slowly turns and it zooms out to show the other conductor there, so enthusiastically ready to hijack the orchestra for such a wholesome prank

It's such a beautiful tradition, and it never gets old.

His face was priceless when he noticed there were going rogue! 😂

This is the only time, in the history of all humanity, that the song Happy Birthday have been interpreted properly.

idk why this made me cry. like if i were him i would he crying. having a whole orchestra sing YOU happy birthday is incredible and a once in a lifetime thing. it made me emotional for some reason 😂

The look on his face is priceless. Embarrassment combined with "I know I did not conduct that, so who did?" Perfect. Absolutely perfect. ^___^

To be so loved by your friends is a gift.

I'm obsessed with this video for some reason. 🥰

Was embarrassed but appreciated the tribute. What a heart warming gift.

Why am I smiling and crying at the same time?

That was a grand present of music and recognition. Wow... what was so incredible and a kind way to recognize him publicly.

the look on his face was priceless. He's like where are you taking me with this music and then boom the entire group broke out. It was great.

It's always amazing to see the reactions of people they sing for! They get excited, yet at the same time they get awkward and don't know how to handle the moment, but still enjoying it. Always great! 😁

I love how the other conductor hijacked the orchestra and the lead guy was completely clueless that it was coming up until the very moment that it happened.

This was beautiful, what a good day for him.

Aquí la fila de los que lloramos de emoción con tan bonito detalle 🥲🥲🥲

This is so sweet/beautiful. How wonderful to witness these beautiful people, and more are somewhere around the world. Love the music. Love Yannick’s reactions, and everything else in this video. I wish you All, the best. Have a safe & happy holiday season 🌲Merry Christmas everyone.

Here’s Yannick Nézet-Séguin coming on stage. Was expecting to conduct whatever was planned. But the Philadelphia All-City High School Band heard it was his birthday. And they knew what to do.

Corey Taylor is talented in so many ways^^

Such a wonderful custom!! And the master is totally touched!!!👍👍👍👍😃😃😃😃🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈♥♥♥♥😃😃👍👍

What a sweet treat! Just out of curiosity, what piece were they actually about to play?! 😆

Cute

❤❤❤❤

Hello! I work at TOTERAZ in Poland and I would like to use your video on our site and social media. Is this okay with you? We’ll be sure to give you a clear, onscreen credit. Thank you and please let me know!

Who is the another one director?

How can I join this band?

🤩👏😂

yo that conductor just overrided him

All City Band? Try All City Orchestra.

Did he share the Joy with Pierre ?

👍👍👍

That’s an orchestra.

Conductors like, I didn't know they could play without me...! ✌️❤️

He conducts a concert in a t-shirt & white sneakers?

This joke is so classical.

💖🥂💐🇵🇱🔥🇺🇦

This is a high school band?! I mean wow they’re really good. My nephews are in their school band and when they have a concert, we can watch live. I’m not exaggerating when I say, listening to them perform makes me want to cut off my ears. It sounds terrible!

Joseph Conyers is so HOT❣️💋

The awful trend of suits with white sneakers needs to dissapear.

Of course he knew...

Very googbye in front school stop and
