Hi,

You might remind your director that all bass tubas are non-transposing. Their fundamental open pitch varies (i.e. BBb, CC, Eb, F) but they all play in concert pitch. Therefore, you were right......the fingerings change as you look at the notes on the page.

Note: there are exceptions to this rule, especially in European band music.
