When you do High School Band, College or what ever. Nothing, I mean nothing, is written for horns in E, A, not much D, no body not even strumming guitar players delight playing anything in B, or F#. LOL!
Those keys call for all of the accidental notes on saxes, oboes, clarinet etc. which are all of the extra side keys on these instrument.
I sing "The Way You Look Tonight" in the key of 'C' and for the last chorus I modulate to Db ... the Alto Sax player drops out of the song at that point ...

To me it would be like getting in the water for 50 years and not being able to swim.
HEY !!! ... I resemble that remark!!! ... I've been going into the water for OVER 50 years and still can't swim ... that's NOT going to stop me from going into the water ... at least in the shallow end ...
Actually, I CAN swim ... I just can't float ... I can 'motivate' well UNDER water, but I can't get my head above it to breath ... We had a swimming pool in our backyard for years, and as much as I tried, I could NEVER get myself to float ...
