The Boys required that all of its membership come from Eau Claire, a condition that ultimately limited recruiting opportunities.
The corps’ colors were black and white. The uniform and marching style, featuring short shorts, short-sleeve shirts, knee socks, and high arm swing, were influenced by the very popular Canadian Scout House.
The Boys sponsored a contest annually in September, the Drums on the Chippewa.
The corps became coed with a huge guard in 1970, and eventually become the coed Sundowners.
