Just a entry to those who not sure about Transposing when talking about concert or major scales during band practises. CONCERT KEY is the key to determine the standard pitch within the ensemble and instruments like the flute, oboe, basson, mallets or easier remember is the piano are already set as a concert pitch instruments. Unlike Clarinets which are in Bb or Eb.
Therefore Bb instruments, when mention example Concert F - we have to transpose up 2 semi tone which is 1 full tone. so it's our G major. But for Eb instruments, have to transpose down 3 semi tone from the concert key, which is D major.
Recap on the Concert Eb(3flats) and A(3sharps) Scales. so after transposing...
Bb instruments: it becomes a F major from concert Eb, and B major from concert A.
Eb instruments: it becomes a C major from concert Eb, and F# major from concert A.
