Watch the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra's orchestral rendition of the "Shout!" Bills anthem that was posted to Twitter ahead of Saturday's playoff game vs. New England.
What was supposed to be an exciting weekend for the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra was dulled by the group's Covid-related cancellation of "New World Symphony," a two-day performance of Antonin Dvorak that would have marked its first major endeavor of 2022.
Undaunted by the setback, the BPO recorded and released a lively orchestral rendition of the catchy Bills' "Shout!" song in Kleinhans Music Hall before Buffalo hosted New England in the first round of the NFL Playoffs Saturday night in Orchard Park.
Decorated conductor JoAnn Falletta sported her No. 43 throwback Bills jersey – the dark blue version the Bills wore from 2002-2010 – while performers donned an assortment of team gear to create a sea of red and blue. The two-minute clip has exceeded 10,000 plays on Twitter within five hours of posting.
Congratulations to our AFC East champs! 🏈🎶❤️💙 To cheer on our @BuffaloBills before tonight’s big game, Maestro JoAnn Falletta and your BPO recorded a rendition of the Bills “Shout” Song.LET’S GO BUFFALO!! #BuffaloBills #BillsMafia #GoBills #Buffalove pic.twitter.com/FaXPxXHDyo

Bills Mafia – regardless of any prior classical music fanhood – appreciated the gesture.
Joann is to the BPOas Josh Allen is to the Bills.#gobills https://t.co/jajBsQQxCx

The entire city of Buffalo is getting involved and I absolutely love it. Mostly because my city gives us no reason to actually get together like this https://t.co/twqe0WIV9Z

The BPO returns to the stage next weekend with "Magnificent Mozart," performed at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Kleinhans Music Hall (3 Symphony Circle). Tickets start at $39 at bpo.org.
"Shout!," sung by Scott Kemper as a remake of an Isley Brothers song released originally in 1959, became the Bills' fight song in 1987. The News' Tim O'Shei visited Kemper, who wasn't aware the song had remained so popular, in 2015.
