Brad Paisley surprised 754 graduating seniors at Barrington High School in Barrington, Illinois on Friday evening.

Paisley told students, “I’m going to play a couple songs for you before you go out and make the world a better place,” before performing his hits, “Letter To Me,” “Today” and his latest single “Last Time For Everything.”

He added, “My advice to you, as you go through life, is to enjoy the moments. Make memories, enjoy them and don’t take yourself too seriously. Go change the world, you all!”

The surprise appearance was the grand prize of a contest for seniors to submit posts on social media, answering the question: What “Last Time” are you going to miss most about school?

The Barrington High School class created a fun video that included mattress surfing down a flight of stairs, pushing their dean into the swimming pool, and hitting golf balls on the football field.
