SMP Cooking Class- turning lessons into flavor 🍕

🍌⚾ THIS GAME WAS ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED 🔥

Our Marines experienced the Savannah Bananas like never before — and it did NOT disappoint NOT disappoint. 🙌 From first pitch to final inning, the energy was unmatched. ⚡

Trick plays. Nonstop dancing. The high-energy Banana Band 🥁🎺 kept the crowd on their feet all night.

It wasn’t just a game… it was a SHOW.
