Las Cruces – Holiday music doesn't just "happen" when December rolls around. For El Paso Brass, the process of preparing their popular holiday concerts begins in the hot days of July, when they start choosing the music, contacting arrangers, and rehearsing for the upcoming season. Jim Shearer, long-time tuba player for the ensemble, came by the KRWG studios to talk about that process, and the El Paso Brass benefit concert for KRWG, which takes place Wednesday, Dec. 14 at 7 p.m. at the Rio Grande Theater.
