brass stem band

What is the best method to install a brass stem band? I am worried that if I drill and counter sink the brass before I bend it around the stem, that it will break at the holes. I have thought about drilling one hole at a time and screwing it down before doing another. Any information from someone who has done this would be helpful. Thanks, George
