You don't post your attempts so it is impossible to comment on them.

\version "2.18.2"

trumpetNotes = \transpose c bes \relative c'' {
  c4
  c4
  c4
  c4 |
}

\addQuote "trumpet" \trumpetNotes

clarinetNotes = \transpose c bes \relative c'' {
  g4
  \quoteDuring #"trumpet" { s4 }
  g4
  g4 |
}

altoSaxNotes = \clarinetNotes

<<
  \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "trumpet" } \transpose bes c {
    \key bes\major
    \transposition bes \trumpetNotes }
  \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "clarinet" } \transpose bes c {
    \key bes\major
     \transposition bes \clarinetNotes }
  \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "alto sax" } \transpose ees c {
