Love that book ;)
The people that attend the ceremonies in The Giver (by Lois Lowry) are first the children. Children are considered to be when they are 1-11 years of age, or an "Eleven" or a "Two" as in the story. There are also newchildren who are with the Nurturers, two other people that attend the ceremonies. The third are the Committee of Elders, (it's members, the head elder, and the receiver). Finally, there are the Laborers (EX: they sweep the hair after the Ceremony of Tens.) I'm pretty sure I'm missing things, and if I am please edit :)
The Council of Elders are in charge of the ceremonies.

In the book "The Giver," all ceremonies are held in the Auditorium. It is a designated space within the community where important events, such as the Ceremony of Twelve, take place under the watchful eye of the community members.
The ceremony of loss is when someone dies(not from release) and the people suddenly forget about them.
Ceremonies in the Giver series are important because they are used to regulate society by assigning specific roles and responsibilities to individuals based on their abilities and interests. These ceremonies also help maintain order and stability within the community by setting clear expectations and guidelines for its members. Additionally, the ceremonies symbolize the loss of individuality and freedom in exchange for a more controlled and uniform society.
In "The Giver," each member of the community attends the annual ceremony where children age up to the next year. This includes the Ceremony of Twelve, where children officially become adults and receive their assigned roles in the community.

The Chief Elder in "The Giver" is responsible for leading the community's ceremonies and meetings. She is the one who assigns roles to the citizens of the community, including deciding who will be the new Receiver of Memory.
