Bruno Mars surprised the graduating seniors of Hilliard Darby High School in Ohio on Tuesday after their graduation was rescheduled due to his concert taking place on Wednesday night! The school opted to change the graduation date from its original plan to avoid logistical conflicts with the concert at Ohio Stadium.
In response to the schedule change, students created the TikTok account “darbyneedsbrunomars” to advocate for Mars to attend their ceremony or send a video message to the Class of 2026.
@darbyneedsbrunomars @Bruno Mars We graduate on May 19th now‼️ Catch you in Columbus on the 20th #graduation #bruno #brunomars #viral #hilliard ♬ I Just Might – Bruno Mars
Bruno ultimately responded by sponsoring an ice cream truck, wrapped in Bruno Mars-themed designs, to distribute free ice cream to the graduates and their guests following the graduation ceremony.
