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.
