This isn't entirely correct! A setting done with \override will
apply to all notes following the setting, so you can do it at the top 
of the piece if you wish (but make sure to do it in the same
Staff context if you say \override Staff.VoltaBracket ... )

What Kieren said is true if you use \once \override ..., though, since 
then the setting will only apply to the next note (or whatever
object).
