How we got started
It began back in 1999 at a supper bowl party. Jake had his guitar there, and he and derek began to play around with it. This propeled Derek into getting his own. already having musical talent,(which had to recieve from his mother, sorry Terry)Derek became a fairly quick study. After a few months of playing they asked Jody to play keyboard with them for a wednesday night youth service to play a few songs.Jody had experience in a previous band(Crown) and jumped at the chance to play again. Bringing alot of maturity to the band, Originale started to take off. Jody had progressed a great deal since his days with crown. His brother Heath bought a bass guitar and began playing. They began practicing alot and became very close. Jake had become a good lead guitarist. Showing very good potential, as Derek began to chunk out "originale" songs. Their first big show was at the county fair, where they played mostly cover songs of other christian bands. In Feb. of 2000 Chris Parris contacted Jody and Derek about sitting in with them one night and playing drums. Chris had played with Jody before in Crown, but was a guitarist. He had only been playing drums a short while but everything is coming along! I guess that pretty much brings everything up to date (for now!)
