| Living Corban started back in early 2000. The band has undergone many changes over the years. The band began with four people wanting to use their talents to praise the lord. They decided on the name Corban, which is Hebrew for "gift to God". The members were mostly the same (Chris, David, and Jonathan), except for an electric percussionist/Pianist (Meagan Jimenez). The band played a few gigs as "Corban". They played mostly for B.T.Y.F.H., the younger kids youth group at Bible Truth Chapel. After a while together Meagan left Bible Truth and the band was reduced to a trio for the rest of the year.
Then towards the end of the next year, which was 2001, the band changed their name to Living Corban, which gave their title a deeper meaning (living gift to god). After a few performances for Bible Truth's Drama Ministry, and for In His Sight, a fourth member was added (Adriana Alonso). After some gigs as a four piece band, LC gained a drummer, Andy Fritchey. Then a short time later, and after performing two gigs with the band as the guest bassist, Alexis Jimenez (Chris's sister) joined. Living Corban continued as a six piece band for a year and a half. They played in various places such as Camp Horizon in Leesburg (Varsity 2 banquet), Pembroke Pines (You For the Price of One), and at their home assembly Bible Truth Chapel (V-Day in Blue I and II). After these performances and more, during the years 2004-2005, one of the pianists, Adriana Alonso, decided to take a leave of absence and LC was reduced to a five piece band. |
