I would love to see an orchestra rickrolling everyone. I imagine half the audience walking out, stone-faced.
yes, would love to see. a minecraft music orchestra would be amazing as well.
you copied me
🗿
SAME LOL
YES
When you prank someone but it’s sophisticated:
i don't know really, is just playing the birthday tune sophisticated? To me, not even close. I don't even consider it a "prank" if they just play the birthday tune, thats basically commonplace. A prank would be maybe speeding up the piece, one section just playing off-key for some reason, etc. Playing the birthday tune? NOT A PRANK!
@@eolsunder I think perhaps their own unique way of smoothingly transition from the original piece to the happy birthday tune makes it sophisticated
Absolutely, the first happy birthday really has a genius arrangement, the (majority) brass orchestra is majestic, and Sydney Symphony Orchestra with their powerful chords…my ears have been blessed with these sophisticated happy birthdays indeed \(^v^)/
@@eolsunder some of the arrangements (like the first one) were pretty sophisticated
@@eolsunder it’s considered a prank because they subvert the expectations of what was originally going to happen.
Wow!!! Can’t believe you featured my Wagner Happy Birthday arrangement - thanks so much!
For backstory, this was performed by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (and Toronto Mendelssohn Choir) for Sir Andrew Davis’ 75th birthday! As you can see in the video, he was truly shocked when the orchestra began playing happy birthday!
Such a fun night for the audience and orchestra and great way to celebrate one of our longtime conductors at the TSO!
Up
Fabulous arrangement! That must have been an awesome concert! That kind of positive musical energy all in one place is what we can’t get enough of and continue to pursue like an addiction. Love it!
I knew I recognized the TSO!
@Liam Ritz
What a wonderful thing to do! SO much fun to watch his initial confusion, then delight!!
So glad I found this comment. It honestly looked like that was the case! Legend for doing that!
I like it how every UA-cam channel says "don't forget to subscribe," meanwhile twosetviolin says "go practice."
That's good for society.
Good point I'm gonna do that now👍

I usually hate pranks but these ones are so heartwarming 😄
Agree. Pranks where someone feels crap or hurt or sad, they aren't funny. These kinds of heart-warming surprises are the best sort of prank.
@@JustAnotherBuckyLover Pranks at the expense of another person aren’t pranks, it’s just bullying
@@zlidyh5 exactly.
Pranks should leave everybody laughing and smiling. Otherwise, it's just being a dick.
@@zlidyh5 Oh, yeah. And if people pranked got mad, use "It's a video" as an excuse.
I really enjoyed the Happy Birthday pranks. Several years ago I was a guest artist with a Dutch orchestra and one of the rehearsals fell on my birthday but I hadn't mentioned it to anyone. We were rehearsing the Telemann concerto I was doing with them or so I thought. The conductor gave the downbeat, I played my first note along with the orchestra, and then I stopped because I knew immediately that they were not playing what they were supposed to. They played a lovely version of the Dutch birthday song for me. I was so touched at their thoughtfulness. This was a very fun video.
I need to hear the Dutch birthday song
@@M_SC search for "lang zal ze leven" or "er is er een jarig". Translated they mean long shall you live and it's one's birthday.
Oh I think I know that one! In German though, and I don't remember the text
@@NoctisIgnem Oh I know the German version "lang sollen sie leben".
That's so sweet! 🥰
TwoSet: "I's so cool when soloists can whip out something on the spot"
Jazz: "IM NOT DEAD YET!
Gotta love a wholesome prank where the goal is to "trick" someone into feeling loved and cared for rather than angry/betrayed!
We used to prank the violas. We would put ball bearings in their f holes, slacken their bows and detune their instruments. It did make them angry but we joked they were so out of tune anyway, it made no difference!
@@PreservationEnthusiast that's terrible. That's not a prank, that's basically vandalism. I don't know how you think that it was funny, but instruments are often prized possessions. I know my cello is my most prized possession. I wouldn't let anyone who doesn't have respect for the instrument within 10 feet of it, much less destroy it like you did.
@@mystic_galaxies9832 Don't worry, we wouldn't do it to a Cello.... that's quite a useful part of the orchestra!
Violas are fair game though. We didn't destroy them, just put them out of action for a while!
You must have heard of Viola jokes and pranks if you play in an orchestra!
It’s called Wholesome Scheeming and it’s my favorite thing ever...
...and it’s good for society. :]
@@PreservationEnthusiast what so you wouldn't do it to a cello but you would do it to the violas because they're not useful enough? i do enjoy lighthearted jokes and pranks about violas, but you're just destroying their instruments. imagine someone did that to you and their excuse was because your instrument wasn't useful enough.
I'm just in love that they're planning something special for 4M when they had to scramble for the 2M because they genuinely only meant to prank us and didn't realise how many people really wanted to see Brett play Tchaikovsky (and Eddy play the orchestra)...
Now it's become a tradition
I think (maybe!) that they're planning to perform it with an actual orchestra. And I also saw comments in the previous video suggesting that Brett borrow a Guarneri violin for the performance. Wud be so amazing if that happened!
@@squiggles7833 best tradition ever!
@@juniper1059 That'd be interesting. I know it will be aMAAAZing, whatever they do. 😊
@@juniper1059 Maybe that's part of the reason why they got in touch with Rin Foundation...to borrow a violin for 4M. 🤔😄
As a musician, and specifically a pianist, I couldn't stop grinning at the wonderful cadenza. It was genius! And thank you, Twoset, for explaining how it worked so everyone could appreciate and enjoy.
Oh yeah, there’s nothing better than loving something and understanding all the little details of what make that thing great! 💚
there's no better way to feel loved than to have an entire orchestra remake a piece just to play happy birthday ultra epic version to you. I would absolutely cry if something like that was done for me
that awkward feeling when everyone else is singing you a happy birthday song and you don't know what to do is amplified 40x with the whole orchestra, choir, and concert hall watching u sksjsk
still this is so wholesome!
That first conductor has such a look of unadulterated joy on his face, it made me get super teary
Yes same here!!!!
Seriously! I was SOBBING seeing how dumbfounded and joyful he was. What a gorgeous arrangement to boot.
To be fair, that first one had a real classy sound to its arrangement - I'd be pretty stoked too... :)
I can't stop laughing at 5:27. Eddy was telling us what to expect at the concert 🤣!
Exactly!
Bro was taking notes on how to terrify eddy
I was looking for this comment 😂
Yeeess, searched for this comment...
It was honestly genius
This video prepped me for that moment. I understood immediately it was a prank 😂
1:44 - Yo! That's my dad conducting! Thank you TwoSet 🙏
hes a talented man
As a conductor i must admit that the first one touched me deeply. There is no bigger compliment or, no bigger i don't know achievement even, to just be together with orchestra, no matter the institution and no matter the other eventual disandvanteges. It's amazing that most likely someone from the orchestra members took their effort in order to perform this for Sir Roger Norringnton's birthday while they most likely were rehearsing Beethoven's 3rd in E-flat major. Honestly i am not surprised why Sir Norrington seems so happy, this is the biggest compliment an orchestra can give to a conductor i tell you!
Short edit: I also forgot about one thing which is absolutely heartwarming for me honestly. It's wonderful that even if anyone who participates in a production has birthday meanwhile rehearsing, it usually happens that all orchestra members together with a conductor and rest of the crew (opera-speaking) agrees for that because mister Heniek from technical crew had birthday during the rehearsal time it's honestly amazing!
Another edit: The one with the conductor recieving a happy birthday arrangement from the orchestra just made me cry. Nobody bothered that it was during a concert, apparently this conductor was liked by the orchestra and choir and other members but still, it just feels like a glorious pleasure as if you have birthday and then out of sudden, 70 people out of blue modulate from the piece you're supposed to do and then play and sing happy birthday just for you. My heart cracks as i'm writing it, i fucking love to be a musician nothing can beat that!
Love your comment. Also made me cry. Best energies from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Every time we had a birthday in our orchestra class, we would always play happy birthday for them, but the best part is that our teacher never taught us how to play it properly so we would just mess around and get close to the real tune without actually getting it right. It always made me really happy, I was one of the few who actually played it, but I thought it was hilarious to hear everyone else's fails
These cute "pranks" make me want to join an orchestra... Must be nice to work with a group of people who share similar interests, are talented, warm-hearted and have a sense of humor!
It definitely is the best experience when you have terrific musicians that are also very human and have humor!
@@violaisreallycool IKR!! Must be one of the most amazing things one can experience in life!
I'm guessing pranks aren't in the schedule very often. Stress and pressure to excel however are, all the time.
It's fun! There's really a sense of camaraderie as everyone works together to play the piece the best they can. For strings there's a lot of bonding with your section as well; it's like a squad. And you tend to get along with the winds who double your parts haha--I'm a cellist and we always hung out with the bassoons and trombones.
@@annika5893 Definitely true for a professional orchestra, and in recent years that's made worse by budget / job cuts, fights with management, lockouts, etc. There's a reason Eddy and Brett left professional orchestra life.
I have to thank TwoSet for giving me the idea of “pranking” the conductor with Happy Birthday arrangement. I told our school orchestra violin teacher to arrange a Happy Birthday to play the day before our conductor’s Birthday (because that is the day we had rehearsals). Although it was just happy birthday straight away and not having an “A to B” arrangement, our conducteur loved it and his reaction was PRICELESS.
Edit: Thanks for 100 likes:D
My high school choir pranked our conductor for a Christmas Concert. He had a wand he loved to use, but the thing was ANCIENT! He had it for 10 years before I graced his choir room.
Anyway, we had been browsing(with the help of his wife, who taught Spanish), and found a wand he REALLY loved, and had it engraved with his name on it. It arrived about a week for the concert, so we had to work fast.
We rigged his old wand to snap in half if he hit the music stand too hard, which was his sign that we screwed up on something, and he was trying to bring us back in line. The new wand came in a tube, which we put in a box, then inside another box, then inside another box, which sat under the piano bench at the concert hall. We convinced our entire Soprano section to drop into a dissonance with the chord we were building, making the piece sound off.
As predicted, the sopranos dropped, he whacked his old wand on the stand, and it broke in half. We finished the song, as 2 seniors brought the box up. The look on his face when he finally got to the wand inside: PRICELESS! First thing he did was point at his wife, who was also the piano player, to which she mimed, “not me, them”, pointing at all of us. He was shocked for a minute, then told the audience that his choir bought him a new wand. It cost us $450, because of the high quality we paid for, and the engraving, plus it came with a stand.
A worthy prank that is good for society ❤️
Imagine if a orchestra Rick rolled the audience
here before this blows up
YOu know the rules and so do I
This would be a great idea. I'm here before this will blow up.
Epic!!
We did this once at my university. We were playing Let it Go from Frozen with the theater department and right before the chorus, everyone stopped, the sound guy played the song over the speakers, and one of the flute players grabbed the microphone to lip sync and dance while dressed as Rick astley. Wish I had the video
You missed my favorite one: There's a recording of the low brass of an orchestra (I think its the Florida Symphony) starting to play the Imperial March during a rehearsal of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet specifically Montagues and Capulets.
they have reacted to this clip before
@@ajchandra7735 Yeah they have I'm just surprised they didn't include it in a video titled "best orchestra pranks ever". It's a pretty good one lol
@@Pearagon10 why would they react to the same clip again? they will react the same way as they did before
Is your middle name Tilson?
An yes, the classic "Montagues and Capulets" prank.
Orchestral pranks take such time and thought and nerdiness. I always appreciate them so much.
Especially when the brass section just give each other knowing looks. Then you know something hilarious is about to drop.
Oh the foreshadowing...
Just imagine the respect these musicians hold for the prank victim? The effort that goes into some of these pranks is epic and the huge smile on their faces are all worth the effort. That last prank during the cadenza was just perfect.
The Happy Birthday pranks were by far the best and sweetest. Good to know there are many people out there thinking about others and able to make it work, too. Thanks Brett and Eddy for providing us with daily content, you all deserve better
eddy joking that a diff song would be played at the 4 mil concert but then he actually did it
Who's here after Eddy pranked Brett in the 4mil 💀
Most of these pranks were 'Happy birthday', but it shows that in how many unique different ways, can one be pranked with a simplistic song, which can be made so epic... so colourful and flavoured...
People : Classical musicians are serious And boring people .
Classical musicians :
There's a reason we orchestral players call non-musicians "civilians" ...
Eddy's prank in the 4mil concert was perfect! Nice of him to give Brett more than 2 bars to react lol
I actually cried throughout the video :”) it’s so heartwarming how people want to spend time and do this “happy birthday” for their friend/ conductors.
I remember going to a concert by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City. One of their choir members was celebrating her 80th birthday, and the conductor had a bit of a surprise for her.
When the concert began and he had gotten his opening remarks of welcome out of the way, he signaled to the organist, who stepped on the low C pedal and thundered out a sustained roar on full organ. The conductor then turn to the audience and motioned for everybody (choir included) to stand up. He then gave the signal and with the orchestra joining in with a rousing intro, the entire Mormon tabernacle choir, with audience, full organ , and orchestra sang happy birthday to this one choir member. It was glorious!
As a teen, we passed through SLC on a family trip. I'd driven all day the day before and spent the night at a campground in a tent, in a pouring rain storm. I got no sleep. The next day was Sunday, and my aunt said "Well, we're here on Sunday, we have to go see the choir." We were sat about ten rows from the back. It was dry and warm in there, and my eyelids started closing as soon as the lights went down. About fifteen minutes into the performance I lost the battle and fell fast asleep. My eyes closed, my head rolled back; and I started to SNORE, loudly; in an acoustically perfect, and completely full, concert hall. Oops.
@@tahoemike5828 Yeah. I feel that.
I love that choir!!!!!!!
That perfect moment when you just got bubble tea and Twoset upload a new video. Perfect timing 🤌✨
the planets are aligned for ya
@@Calvin704704 the lingling force is with me lol
@Profile Pictures hahaha 😏
Me after just making chicken katsu and coming back to see they uploaded. Godsend.
@@georgiasbookshop oh, my mouth is watering 🤤
All the Happy Birthday pranks remind me of the time we pranked our conductor mid-concert. We'd only planned it as we arrived at the concert so we all just improvised Happy Birthday when she began conducting. She later said it was one of the best concerts she's ever conducted
6:42 "that was very good for society"
I don't hear this often enough.
It would be absolutely hilarious if all the Twosetters out there came together and did something like this for Brett and Eddy
It's Brett's 30th next month! But it would have to be kept secret. They were bowled over & visibly moved when a large group of TwoSetters compiled a celebration vid for their 2M subs...
Got this wrong. It was their 3MIL subs! Sorry.
@@wakingtheworld can you share the link of that vid/ their reaction?
@@daniellewinton2902 Right you are testing my memory! Can't post links here anymore I don't think, cos we were plagued with a certain guy called Hamza summat or other who was cashing in on TwoSet's sub volume to promote his own channel.
Got it - Type this into YT
TwoSet 'The Most Amazing 3 Mil Celebration Video Made by Our Fans'
Was trying to find the spot: 10:03 though you may enjoy the entire LinLing40Hours subreddit anyway...
Right NOT that one which was a clip... though the whole thing was linked 'in the description below'. It was THIS one: TwoSet 'Reacting to a Heartfelt Video Made By Our Fans'. This was for their 2MIL subs...
All of these musical birthday surprises reminds of when I, 5 years ago, during a trip to New York (live in Denmark) with my class, where the teachers had arranged for a Spanish church we were visiting to sing happy birthday to me and few other regular church goers.
Nothing really beats a surprise like that.
Your teacher is the best!
That's so sweet!
I was there in NYO-USA with David and Gil that year -- playing principal bassoon on the Britten :) That was such a fun day and an incredibly memorable summer! The air whoosh at the end of the arrangement was taken from a piece we premiered that summer, so the arrangement was fantastic. Good times!
Omg Brett was rolling his eyes because Eddy was flexing. 7:02
Everyone's talking about the soloist playing Mendelssohn but no one is talking about how a guy was spinning his cello around in the background of the orchestra 5:14.
Edit: Changed concertmaster to soloist
oh wow, i didnt notice that lol
thx for sharing
I love these kind of videos. It is fun and wholesome to watch not just the original prank target’s reaction, but yours reactions as well. And the insight and comments (even the description in the captions) are the cherry on top.
Learning by smiling 😃
This reminds me of my graduation ceremony. I told everyone I was going to play Chopin L'Adieu, and I started with a passionate hand gesture, and I looked really into it.
I ended up play Never Gonna Give You Up.
I play Clair de Lune, and at the very end, I turn the highest note, an A flat, into the beginning of the Zorba the Greek melody, get carried away with it, and then return to the last arpeggio of the Clair de Lune piece!
Whoaa that's a bold move lol
Here again after the 4mil concert. That cheeky laugh when they said they have great plans for the Mendelssohn 4mil stream. AND that violin concerto prank must've been the moment that inspired Eddy to prank Brett at the 4mil concert. HAHAHAHA
In university I went to an open rehearsal of their excellent symphony orchestra. The conductor at one point yelled, "Forte!" The orchestra player louder and he then yelled again, "Forte!" They played louder still. And he then yelled even louder, "FORTE!" Finally the concert master stopped the orchestra and said, "We are playing as loud as we can!" He said, "Yes. And all I want has been forte." Everyone found this funny.
I don’t get it help
@@M_SC probably how the orchestra players kept on getting louder as the conductor yelled forte, but all he actually wanted was forte, not crescendo. the orchestra players would think that the conductor yelling forte would to be go louder and louder, but the conductor just wanted a nice, decent forte.
@@JSUNLIME Exactly right! They ended up with fortissimo rather than just forte.
6:25 “ohhh, that’s a good arrangement!…”
That’s John Williams’s “Happy Birthday Variations,” which he did for Seiji Ozawa.
So this is where Eddy got the idea to prank Brett with Bruch in the Mendelssohn 4 mill concert. Brett’s reaction time was pretty awesome too!
Twoset is good for society
8:13 shows the Toronto Symphony Orchestra playing happy birthday on Sir Andrew Davis’ 75th birthday. I was in the audience for that concert and it was clear that Sir Andrew Davis was truly surprised and honoured. Thank you for reminding me of that evening!
How lovely to have all these charming renditions of Happy Birthday posted on my birthday 🎂 Thank you TwoSet Violin.
Happy birthday to you! 🥳
🎼🎶🎶🎂🎂🎶🎶
Happy Birthday! 🎉
Happy birthdaaay 🎶🍀💕
Happy Belated Birthday! 🎂🎉
5:42 the foreshadow 🤣
7:22 play "F" to pay respect
The first one was a dedicated arrangement and also a classy one without any predictable cliche-ness, I'm guessing they did it on purpose to please the director's taste.
8:01 That guy commenting seems kinda cool
i think so too
i think so too
Ahaha. It's you! 😆
Huzzah it’s you
😂
4:34
I remember seeing this video months ago, never have I thought I would see this prank again... in the most unexpected place😂
The concert yesterday was so perfect in many ways!
All pranks are not only high quality and good for society, but totally wholesome!
I think society could be cured if these were the types of pranks people did on social media!
We did a happy birthday prank with my school orchestra at a concert once. One of my proudest moments. The conductor’s reaction was priceless.
Prank? No this is an incredibly wholesome compilation of birthday gifts from classical musicians to classical musicians
4:38 Eddy played this prank on Brett for their 4mil 🥺🥺
My sister plays in the university orchestra of our city and a chellist wrote a complete orchestra version of the Tetris-soundtrack just by himself (not a music student, most of them are engineers there). In their concert, when it was time for a bonus piece (do you call it encore in english? I wasn't sure) they had rehearsed the Jazz suite by Shostakovich which the conductor started conducting, but instead the whole orchestra just started to play the Tetris soundtrack. The conductor's reaction was so funny and wholesome, he kinda just stood there and conducted on the beat and the arrangement sounded sooo nice! :D It was the best, and I still have the piece stuck in my head every once in a while even though it's over 5 years ago :D
Was it recorded, it needs to be sheed with the world
I love that the happy birthday thing is an universal thing. I play in my local community windorchestra. When it is somebody’s birthday it is whispered around at the beginning of rehearsal. And most of the times the trumpets just start and then everybody just joins in 😂
This really just goes to show how dedicated these professional conductors are to their music - and how much they’re loved by everyone! ☺️
The choir and orchestra sounded so heavenly too
Wow! The "Prank 2.0" with "some real pianissimo playing" at 1:45 is the wonderful UC Davis Symphony Orchestra with concertmaster Devon Bradshaw. So excited to see their commitment and amazing energy featured here, thank you @TwoSetViolin !!!
After watching this video, I decided to prank my school orchestra conductor. I printed out the papers and passed them around on a day when we had a substitute teacher. She was so surprised and happy! In addition, we are beginners and never even rehearsed it, but it was mostly on time.
You know whats also very good for society? Twoset!
Those happy birthday arrangements were next-level genius. I need the sheet music...now please.
The “2nd violins don’t play” had me LMAO
Sometimes it not about what’s impressive but, simply that someone took the time, energy and kindness to surprise someone with a dedicated piece to someone they care about - an orchestra is like family. ❤
Haha, when I was in orchestra years ago, it happened that rehearsal fell on the same day as Halloween, and they (“they” meaning the faculty) shut the power off on us. The music director said the power went out due to a storm. We rehearsed in the dark. Best orchestra ever lmao
7:28 That's a powerful F --- Brett Yang
eddy saying at 4:53 that pranking people on the spot and then he does it to brett when he played mendelssohn
the conductor at 6:10 seems like a totally delightful person, such a nice moment
I've already viewed some parts before, but I cannot tell how careful the arrangements were. Thanks for you guys explaining the details to us all.
Great video gentlemen. A prank we used to play was in 'March Militaire La Ronde', where we played the first 3 notes slowly to disguise it. The notes in question were the first notes of 'God Save the Queen '. We always caught someone out when they stood up. Fun.
Also check out Maestro Gustavo Dudamel taking the leaders violin, and handing over the baton in 2017, to perform Berliner Luft. Great fun, and wonderful to watch.
You guys be good. Great videos.
Went to my first in person concert since the pandemic a month ago and the orchestra played the Ukrainian national anthem before the russian piece. There is no explaining the emotions the entire concert hall felt when listening to the amazing arrangement.
This is imho one of your best and most touching episodes ever.
Music, it is said, is the language of the heart.
Most of these "pranks" did just that: they came from the heart and went to the heart.
And that is the true power of music.
This is the kind of pranks all parties involved enjoy and want to be in! The best pranks are those in which everyone ends up with a smile on their faces.
I need a two hour compilation of orchestras just pranking people and playing happy birthday. It's so wholesome!
5:30 eddy…. You foreshadowing ass
5:35 I just realized: this is Eddy foreshadowing the prank he’s gonna pull on Brett for the 4 mil concert lmAOOOOOO AND IT WAS MENDELSSOHN TOO
I have zero music knowledge or background, thanks for breaking down the theory behind the music.
This is such a heart-warming and mind-healing video.
Eddy after watching the soloist prank: we've got some really exciting plans for that!
The best rendition of happy birthday I ever heard was at the cast party for my first ever professional opera. It was at a restaurant that used to be a church that was just down the street from our theater. And I guess opening night was also the company musical director’s birthday, so the company decided to sing happy birthday to him. Acapella with full harmonies. I started singing along when they first started but I quickly realized I was very much outclassed and stopped so I could listen. It was, to this day, the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard. I wish I had a recording of it.
The guy at 2:47 is in Covent Garden in London, in an area where you sit and have a drink (there's a bunch of cafes and restaurants around). You do usually get musicians performing (busking) there but it's not a concert :)
7:28 that's a powerful F indeed. I'm gonna clip that and use it out of context.
3:50 imagine being in an orchestra, and everytime it’s a member’s birthday, everyone surprises them with this. 👏🏻👏🏻
Smiling the whole way thru this! I'm going to start saying "good for society" every time I see something nice and wholesome now. 😄
Imagine just watching an orchestra play Eroica and it suddenly starts to play Still Dre
Love them all. When they make references to musical subtleties, I have to listen again, sometimes again, to get it, (eg the piccolo bit) but what a thrill when I hear it!
More, more. Not necessarily pranks but guiding us thru musical elements to add to our enjoyment.
At first I read that as 'what a trill when I hear it'.
10:18 wow I just realized that pianist is my piano professor and I’ve played with that conductor.
5:28
Eddy: Imagine…
Mendelssohn 4mil stream
SSO: starts playing Bruch
Eddy got it all planned from the start😂
7:06 you perfect pitch'd me
The fact that Eroica and Happy Birthday fits together
*Beethoven is happy*
I've heard of a conductor who was always bragging that he had perfect pitch.
The members of the orchestra all agreed to practice playing one of the compositions in a different key and to play it in that key in the next rehearsal.
The conductor didn't know the difference.
Y'all I'm losing my mind over here, the one with the Mozart piano is one of the orchestras I play in (Ocala Symphony) and I wasn't playing that concert because the other orchestra was playing something I wrote that night! I wouldn't change a thing but I can't believe that's the reason I didn't make it on TwoSet what is this life 🤣🤣🤣 Shout out to Will, I can see the back of your head!!
Most of these are just so wholesome and sweet I want to be part of an orchestra now
LOVE TO HEAR EDDY BREAKDOWN EVERYTHING THE PITCH PERFECT PEOPLE HEAR. 💙
Yes, this makes me laugh every time - and I am so jealous and wish I could do that!
I absolutely love how all of these are light-hearted pranks, and everyone gets a good kick out of it. I especially love the Happy Birthday ones dedicated to either a player or the director. 😁👍
5:35 came from the future to say that Eddy really pulled that prank on Brett and Brett’s reaction was also genius!!
