Swing for Something That Matters: Music City Topgolf Invitational
Join Music City Drum Corps on December 5 for an evening of friendly competition, community, and support for young performers.
For anyone who loves drum corps, the most memorable moments often happen under stadium lights. The opening impact. The sound of a full brass line. The final note that leaves an audience on its feet.
Behind those moments are young people learning to trust themselves and each other. There are long rehearsal days, breakthroughs earned through persistence, and friendships that turn an unfamiliar group of performers into a place to belong.
This December, Music City invites the community to help make those experiences possible.
The Music City Topgolf Invitational will take place December 5, 2026, at Topgolf Nashville, 500 Cowan Street. The event brings together drum corps fans, alumni, families, businesses, and friends for an evening supporting Music City Youth in the Arts and its Music City Drum Corps program.
A Fun Evening with a Lasting Purpose
Music City’s mission centers on accessible experiential education, well-being, and leadership development. Drum corps gives young people a demanding, supportive environment in which to grow as performers and as people.
A member may arrive hoping to become a stronger musician or dancer. Along the way, they learn how to respond to setbacks, accept feedback, contribute to a team, and keep showing up when the work gets difficult. Those lessons stay with them long after the summer ends.
Providing that experience takes a community. Supporters help sustain the instruction, resources, and care that allow young performers to learn and thrive.
The Topgolf Invitational offers a chance to be part of that work while enjoying time with friends and fellow supporters.
