Our goal is to be a free and easy drill writing solution for marching bands, indoor programs, and applicable performing ensembles. OpenMarch hopes to be enough for 90% of ensembles with reasonable design needs. We want to make drill writing effortless. OpenMarch is designed with three principles: Stay free - All of the technologies OpenMarch uses have been intentionally chosen to minimize operation costs. This ensures that OpenMarch remains accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Stay fast - OpenMarch is built with performance in mind. We want to ensure that the software runs smoothly on any device, making the drill writing process efficient and enjoyable. Stay simple - We focus on providing essential features without unnecessary complexity. Our interface is intuitive and easy to use, allowing you to create drill without a steep learning curve. There may never be a day where OpenMarch has support for a 3D rendered marching band of 900 with live video feed jumbotron props. OpenMarch's current (and really only) focus is on the drill-writing experience. We hope you like our software. ### Package name * openmarch --- ### License * GPL-3.0 --- ### Last updated * 18 February 2026 - latest/stable * 18 September 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [openmarch.com](https://openmarch.com/ "https://openmarch.com/") --- ### Donations * [www.patreon.com](https://www.patreon.com/c/openmarch "https://www.patreon.com/c/openmarch") --- ### Source code * [github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch](https://github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch "https://github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch/issues](https://github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch/issues "https://github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/openmarch/ubuntu#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install OpenMarch Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install OpenMarch To install OpenMarch, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install openmarch ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
