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.

They are also the only WGI World Class ensemble to receive three consecutive gold medals. The group regularly performs at Tennessee Titans games. Past and Current Programs.
