Winnek American Legion Post 396, formed in 1928, was a senior marching and maneuvering corps based in Geneva, New York. They initially operated under the sponsorship of the Geneva Winnek American Legion Post 396 and the leadership of Jack Gleason and T.J. Comiskey, competing in the Penn-York Circuit.
One of the earliest corps to use jazz arrangements, the 396 made finals in the 1941 American Legion Finals before that event closed down for World War II. Some famous names associated with the 396 were arrangers John Kinyon and Jack Bullock, soprano soloist Frankie Farr, who improvised his solos on the field, and Hall of Famer John S. Pratt.
The corps had changed its name to The Appleknockers by about 1947; no word on whether they were then became known as a Drum Core.
