A member of the saxophone family which is placed in between the Baritone and Alto voices. This is considered one of the sweetest, smooth, melodic sounding insturments by some peoples opinion. The Tenor Sax is a favored instrument in many Jazz ensembles and Ska bands. This sax is known for being able to blast out beutiful sounding solos at fast speeds. People who play the Tenor are usually extremely suave and good looking and can usually pick up any gal they would want.

A series of 3-36 drums. For Marching Band/Drum Corps usually when marching only 6 are used. Although on stage performances 36 can be mounted on stands. Also the best percussion kit ever. Generally weigh about 30 lbs. Occasionally referred to as "Quads" because of the 4 main drums used. Drummer, knowing they're limit knowledge don't know they are called Tenors.
Tuba player: "Look at that tenorline!"
Tenor sax player: "We only have 3 tenor saxes though..."
Middle School tenor player: "THER CALLED QUADS IDIOT!"

A awsome instrument far better than others like its friends the baritone or cornet. Tenor horn players are usually the best musicians of all time. And they well eventually take over the world.

The Tenor Saxophone is an all around cool instument. It is a favored Jazz instrument and has a high range of notes playable on it. The girls that play tenor are usually a bit sarcastic and just awesome to be around. The guys that play tenor tend to get a bit cocky but should always know any girl playing tenor will always be better than them.
Boy 1: "Hey did you see that sax player?"
Boy 2: "Yeah I did! I didn't even know that a girl could play a tenor saxophone that well till now."
Tenor Girl: "Yeah well you better believe it!"
Boy 1: "And here I was thinking the saxophone was for men...."

One of the best sounding saxophones in the entire band, the tenor sax is tuned to B-Flat, plays a Fourth lower than the Alto Saxophone and a Fith higher than a Bari Saxophone. Tenor Saxophones often have a very mellow sound, and can carry a melody, or do harmonies and the like.

a tenor that has the ability to powerhouse anyone. With that sick range he is second to no other voice parts.
