Take a look at this picture of the Teddy Budlong Post No. 39, Marinette Legion Drum & Bugle Corps taken at the Wisconsin State Legion Convention in Wausau in 1928. They came in 3rd. They also competed in the 1929 national convention in Louiseville, KY., where they didn't make the cut (top 15 out of 110 corps competing) but they did get to play their program over WHAS, a local Louisville radio station.

That same Teddy Budlong Post No. 39 started a Boy Scout Drum & Bugle Corps in the winter of 1928-29 which had 40 members. I could find no mention of how long the American Legion Corps or the Boy Scout Corps existed.

From http://www.northernaires.net/marinettedbcorps.php:

Calvin Fernstrum's father recalls that their helmets were chrome and the old WWI type helmet; the jacket was a baby blue color with silver; the pants were like knickers and he believes they were white, although, judging from this picture, they may have been the same color as the jacket; the spats were a dark black. He believes the corps was active during the great depression until WWII.
