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!"
Tuba player: "No, because ther are up to 36 Tenor Drums and 'Quad' referres to 4."

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 saxes in the entire band, the tenor sax plays a Fourth lower than the Alto Sax and a Fith higher than a Bari Sax. Tenor Saxophones often have a very mellow sound, and can carry a melody, or play harmonies and the like.
when i start playing my tenor sax, anyone in the vicinity immediately starts nodding off.

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.
"Whoa, man, what is that awesome sound?"
"That? Oh, that's team tenor blasting out a top A."
