2022 Men Of The Green Machine – Lee Salter

Please welcome Lee Salter, first year Baritone, to the 2022 Cavaliers!


Lee has had a love of music since he was born. His first instrument was the alto
saxophone which he began playing in the sixth grade. One day when he came
home from school he asked if he could get a saxophone …. and “probably some
lessons too”. Since he isn’t one to ask for things, off we went to the music store
to get his saxophone and a week later we found the most wonderful music
instructor that encouraged Lee’s interest in music. Since then, he has taught
himself to play the baritone and the mellophone. Lee was a member of The
Bands of Irmo High School from his freshman year through his graduation, playing both the saxophone and the baritone.

He is a rising junior at The Honors College of the University of South Carolina and he is a member of the University of South Carolina’s Marching Band. It was while Lee was in high school that some of his best friends became interested in drum corps introducing him to DCI. As he patiently waited along with everyone else for Covid restrictions to be lifted, he was thrilled when he found out he had been accepted into The Cavaliers Drum Corps for 2022.

From Lee’s Parents:

Lee is talented and an extremely hard worker who doesn’t know how to give up.
We are so very proud of him and couldn’t be happier that he is a part of The
Cavalier Family.

We love you,
Mom and Dad
