History
Music City Mystique was formed in 1995 by Don Click and Chris Finen in Nashville, Tennessee. The drumline was formed by combining two local high schools drumlines since neither school had the funding or members to compete separately. Since then, Mystique has grown tremendously and is not supported financially or otherwise by any local high school. Most members are college age, while several high schoolers participate as well.
Mystique currently competes in the Percussion Independent World Class in both SCGC and WGI. They are undefeated for their entire time in SCGC, and have never finished lower than 4th in WGI. They are also the only WGI World Class ensemble to receive three consecutive gold medals.
