This is for groups that play music or visual shows that are the most difficult in both SCGC and WGI.

Even though they are both from Nashville, Music City Mystique is not related to the Music City Drum and Bugle Corps.

 History 
Music City Mystique was made in 1995 by Don Click and Chris Finen in Nashville, Tennessee. This group was made by putting the drumlines from two local high schools together. This was because those high schools did not have the funding or members to play own their own. Since then, Mystique has grown a lot and is not given money or funded by any local high school. Most members are college age, but some high schoolers play as well.

Mystique currently plays in the Percussion Independent World Class in both SCGC and WGI. They have not been defeated for their entire time in SCGC, and have never gotten lower than 6th place in WGI. This group sometimes plays at Tennessee Titans games.
