Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts.

Marching band drill design is evolving—and OpenMarch is helping lead that change.

In this episode of On A Water Break, we sit down with Alex Dumouchelle, Founder & Lead Developer of OpenMarch, and Aleksi Saario, OpenMarch’s Marketing Manager, to talk about how their free, open-source drill writing platform is changing access, collaboration, and creativity in the marching arts.

This conversation digs into where OpenMarch started, why open-source matters, how real programs are already using it, and what the future of drill design could look like when more designers actually have access to the tools.

In this episode:

• How OpenMarch got started

• Why open-source matters in the marching arts

• How the platform lowers barriers for designers and educators

• Real-world use in marching arts programs

• What’s next for OpenMarch
