 C flat equals B.
 B sharp equals C.
 
 C flat does not equal B sharp. This relationship is true of most notes, such as D flat equals C sharp, but it doesn't apply to the pair B and C or the pair E and F. This is easy to see on a piano as there is no black key in between the notes.

 Just in case a piano keyboard is not handy - C flat is the same fingering as B natural.  Portions of chromatic scales can be confusing to young musicians - bravo for looking to the web for advice - what happened to your band director for guidance?!!

 a c flat is the same as a normal b, and a b sharp is the same as a normal c.

 Since no one actually said before:
 B flat (A sharp) Left hand- index & middle finger
 Right Hand- Index finger
 B Natural- Left hand- Index Finger
 C Natural (B sharp) - both index fingers
 All those can be raised an octave by using the 2nd octave key
 
 Low B nat.- Left hand- index, middle, and ring finger, and
 pinky on the b key (under the a-flat key, of the 2 keys extending away from the oboe, the one closest to the inside, or the only one (this key is not the rounded one).
 Right Hand- Index, middle, and ring, w/ the c key down (the top one of the 3 keys for the right hand)
 Low B-flat- same as low b, using the outer key on the left pinky instead of the inner.
