In their inaugural season of competition, the corps performed in the 1996 North American Open championships, placing 29th in the “Division II/III” class and received sponsorship from the borough community ambulance association in December 1996, relocating once again to Paulsboro. The First Defenders became a member of the Garden State Circuit “Division III” class, finishing 7th in 1997 & 4th in 1998. The corps remained active the next year as a parade unit.
