        What is a banner raid you ask. First we are not the only club in the state. What happens is a square (8 dancers) or more of our club goes to a dance sponsored by another club. We can either retrieve our banner back. or we will do a raid and take there banner (flag). This encourages new friendships by meeting and dancing with new people and to different callers.
Banner Raids or Retrievals
