The following order of appearance for the 2008 Drum Corps International World Class World Championship Quarterfinals was determined by averaging the scores earned by each corps at the DCI Premier Events in Denver/Orlando (July 12), San Antonio (July 19), Atlanta (July 26), and Allentown (Aug. 1 & 2).



For those corps that did not compete in Denver or Orlando, comparable scores close to the date of those two events were used to figure the average. Scores achieved at the Stanford event on July 5 were used to calculate the final average of scores for the Academy and Pacific Crest, and the July 7 event in Louisville was used for Pioneer.



The World Class World Championship Quarterfinals will take place on Thursday, Aug. 7 at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ind. Remember: If you can't make it out to the stadium, the Quarterfinals event will be broadcast live in more than 340 theaters across the United States during Drum Corps International's fifth annual "Big, Loud & Live" simulcast of the World Championship Quarterfinals.
