agree  Dr Lofthouse: 'Star' being the title of the rally/procession?
43 mins
  -> Thank you! Cf. Joel's explanation.
agree  Joel Schaefer: 'Star' being the shape of the procession. Since star march is an uncommon term in English, I would suggest '... followed by a "star march" of bands converging from ...'

March music (played) by A, B, C, and M marching bands formed in a star-shaped position


Explanation:
or music by A,B,C, and M marching bands...

Kapelle here means the Musikkapelle, and that's why I would rather use the word "band".

http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/dings.cgi?lang=en&service=deen&op...

I used "marching band" term to avoid the confusion with a pop or jazz band.

The link below shows the "Sternmarsch" performance. Have fun!

A Starmarsch in a concert programme refers to a march music played by bands in a standing starlike position (not walking or marching). See the VDO reference above.
