Eau Claire Sundowners
The corps became co-ed in 1970 - and in 1971, the name was changed to Sundowners. The corps achieved its highest level of competitive success under the Sundowners name, reaching the finals at VFW Nationals five times (1973, 1974, 1978, 1979 & 1980), AL Finals in 1978 & DCI Class A Finals in 1980. 1984 was the last year of competition for the corps, although it continued as a parade unit for several more years. The Sundowners Winter Guard competed until the mid-'90s, placing 2nd in Class A at the WGI Championships in both 1988 & 1994.
