Canyon High School band’s booth at Wurstfest supports local families, musicians

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – The Canyon High School Marching Band funnel cake booth has been a staple at Wurstfest for longer than alumni can remember.

Band members and their parents staff the booth during the festival’s 10-day run as a fundraiser to offset the costs of uniforms and travel expenses.

Director of Fundraising Steve Rathburn says this is one of the largest fundraisers for the program and creates more than $75,000 in revenue for marching band students.

“It offsets the costs significantly. It’s obviously the biggest fundraiser that the band has, so it’s a really big part of what we do, and yeah the kids love doing it as well,” Rathburn said.

Sunday is the last day of Wurstfest.
