About Marc

Marc Preston Moss began his years in the marching arts in Greentown, Indiana at Eastern High School. After graduating in 1988, he joined the Star of Indiana Drum & Bugle Corps from Bloomington, Indiana and performed with them until he aged out in 1991, when Star won the coveted DCI World Championship. He was selected by the corps director to represent Star in the 1991 All-Star Drum & Bugle Corps, performing in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Marc has since given back to the activity as a designer, instructor, clinician, and consultant for over 300 scholastic and independent indoor and outdoor competitive groups. His designs have won awards in California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Utah, and Wisconsin state and regional competitions. He choreographed for the Blue Stars Drum & Bugle Corps from 2004-2006, and served as the Program Coordinator in 2005.

“My role as an educator in the marching arts has always had less to do about the elements of this craft and more to do with a student’s approach to learning music, marching, dancing, spinning, drumming, etc. If the approach is pure, then the outcome will be successful, regardless of what is placed before the student.”

Some of my memories from this amazing activity

Star of Indiana

Being a member of the Star of Indiana is one of the greatest joys of my life. The Star Alumni is my family. The corps, our director, and our staff taught me so much about the marching arts, but they taught me more about myself and who I wanted to become. Those years gave me pricesless experiences I have shared with every marching arts student I’ve ever had.
