Did Casting Crowns ever say why they chose their name?

You've got the right verse, just the wrong version cf. KJV:
10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (emphasis added)

A little Googling turned up a list of 15 questions that fans asked the band. Within, there is this exchange:
4. MyGodIsEnough asks: What does the name "Casting Crowns" mean, and why did you decide to use it as the band name?
Mark: The Scripture is Revelation 4 where it talks about the 24 elders around the throne, putting their crowns before Him. For me, as a believer, if you’re not careful, little things will rise up in your life and become important. And it will create distance between you and God; and these little kingdoms don’t have to be bad things, sometimes they can be good things. They just take our focus away, and we have to let these kingdoms fall and fall before Him and make sure that we are setting apart Christ as Lord in our lives.
Indeed, the inspiration was Revelation 4:10-11, as suspected.
