Music City Mystique

Music City Mystique

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. Music City Mystique has been a PIW Finalist every year since 1995 and were WGI World Champions in 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2006, and 2011.[1]
Currently, Mystique is the only 7-time Winter Guard International Percussion World Champion.[2] 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.

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.

Directors

Don Click was the Executive Director of Mystique from 1995-2006. He is currently serving as a Board Member and member of the Program Coordination Team. Click is a 2010 Inductee in the WGI Hall of Fame.
