YES - all treble EXCEPT for the Bass Trombone (they always have to be
different).

I believe the reasons are historical. When the Brass Band was a means of
music making for "simple factory workers" the music was all in treble to
make switching between instruments easier, music easier to learn & teach,
and to make the band as a whole easier to manage.

I have no idea why the Bass trombone escaped this.
