Two nearby districts got to know each other (and their instruments) a little better Friday morning when Blind Brook and Port Chester middle schoolers found out they had a mutual love for the same tune.

And no, it wasn't the new track by Justin Bieber. 

It was concert favorite, "Fiero" composed by Steve Hodges. When Port Chester band director Ken Kraut and Blind Brook's Don Whitman found out they had both been practicing the song in their respective music classes, they decided to fuse their groups together for a rehearsal and performance.

This was the first ever music jam-fest between the two districts, and officials hope to continue the new tradition.
