Supposedly a good instrument but is actually god awful and always cracks and squeaks whenever they are supposed to play anything whatsoever in a band. The players will always say that it's the reed or embouchure or some shit but it's actually just them and their sucky-ass instrument.

The most badass section of the choir- characterised by singing very high and very loud, putting the other voices (sopranos, altos and basses) to shame. Usually found in the back rows of Cambridge chapel choirs.

Tenor Saxophone (Shiny curve boi) - The best instrument that exists and ever will exist. Just low enough to get those fat rich notes and just high enough to grab the audience's attention for a sick solo.
Tenor Saxophonist - The super cool person that plays the best instrument ever and is super chill about it even when adoring fans flock them and ask to touch their instrument. Social and a bit competitive, but not egotistical, unlike other saxophonists COUGH ALTOS COUGH
All saxophonists are prone to play jazz songs and random licks at rehearsal. It's our nature. Don't blame us.

P. Noun. The Speedy Tenor is one of the three god-like tenors that grace the world today. He possesses not only the ability of super speed, travling at speeds over that of the speed of light, but moving so quickly that a "clone" effect is produced, allowing him to accomplish multiple tasks at near instanteneous speeds. Also, this member of The Three Tenors is also known for displaying unusual heel clicking and falsetto skills. Although it goes without mention, The Speedy Tenor is almost too attractive, as most Tenors are.
"The Speedy Tenor, one of The Three Tenors, darted from place to place so quickly that the infrared waves given off from his body could only be seen after he had passed."

The heaviest, most difficult percussion instrument in the marching band. Props to whoever’s director values them enough to put them on tenors. No freshmen allowed.
