Played in the video on tenor, if you play alto or bari though, you probably just want to try it using the same notes, starting on C. If you want to play it in the same key as it’s being played, then that first note is a concert Bb, which is a G on alto/bari.
Next note is a half step below that first note, the seventh, followed by the ninth, then the sixth and ends on the fifth relative to the major key.
