Brass Band Transposition?

[sffz]

To play an British Brass Band Eb treble clef tuba part on a tuba NOT in Eb would I play it as if it were in bass clef and add 3 flats to the key signature? I think this is correct, I am just not 100% sure.

Thanks for your help

Watch out for accidentals!

Watch out for accidentals!

Especially watch out for reminder or courtesy accidentals!

Shouldn't they be called "intentionals"?

if you are playing british brass band music, there will be a Bb tuba part in transposed treble clef, if you ever played Bb trumpet it will be no problem

Thanks Peter. I have been assigned the Eb part. I am pretty comfortable with the transposition as I have done this with alto sax and bari sax parts for years. Thanks again.
