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
