The Greater Trenton Pipes and Drums logo is based on the Celtic Knot Horse shown below. It was put together by our Drum Sergeant Mike Schillaci with input and feedback provided by our Pipe Major Patty Downey and other band members. We wanted to choose a symbol that would reflect our close association with both the State of New Jersey and the City of Trenton. After some research, it was decided that the horse was a fitting symbol for the band. |

The horse is the state animal of New Jersey. The horse also appears on both the State Seal of New Jersey and the Seal of the capital city of Trenton, New Jersey. |

In Celtic tradition, the horse was revered for its speed and vigor. Epona and Macha are Celtic horse goddesses who watch over the land, protecting its abundance and insuring a good harvest. As protectors of nature, they both grant sovereignty over the land and are the goddesses of the stable. As goddesses of maternity, prophecy, and prosperity, they guide and protect mortals on their journeys through life. We felt that the above qualities, which were associated with the horse also represent the qualities which our band seeks to exemplify. |
