Brass Band parts (with the exception of bass trombone) are all written in transposed trebled clef so that the open pitch that your instrument is keyed in is C. For Eb tuba the low Eb below the staff is written as C just below the staff in treble clef. For BBb tuba the Bb below the bass clef staff is written as treble clef C just below the staff. For trombone the low Bb in the bass clef staff is written as treble clef C. This way when you which around from horn to horn your fingerings are still the same.
