Are you inquiring about concert pitch? The alto sax is pitched in Eb (a minor 3rd higher than C). To play Bb concert, you will have to transpose down a minor 3rd to G. Most bands tune to concert Bb and use the Bb major scale a lot for warming up. This means the alto will be playing it's G and G major scale The notes are G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G.
The notes of the Bb major scale are Bb-C-D-Eb-F-G-A-Bb.
Hope that helps.
