Music City Mystique is an independent indoor drumline based in Nashville, Tennessee. However, due to lack of available rehearsal space, rehearsals are being held in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. Also known to fans as Mystique or McM, Music City Mystique is a member of the Southeastern Color Guard Circuit and Winter Guard International. Mystique competes in Percussion Independent World Class (PIW) which has the highest caliber of performers in its classification in both SCGC and WGI.

Currently, Mystique is the only 7-time Winter Guard International Percussion World Champion. Mystique has been a crowd favorite over the years as it has gained a reputation for "pushing the envelope" musically and stylistically while maintaining a loyal following around the country.

Famous quotes containing the words music, city and/or mystique:
“But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
“The city mouse eats bread and cheese;—
The garden mouse eats what he can;
We will not grudge him seeds and stocks,
Poor little timid furry man.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism ... is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politique.... Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
