GACO employees will present American music groups, singers and dancers at a stage on Schillerplatz. "We again will be able to offer a wonderful program with various American performers," said Rut Pinillos Cediel from GACO. "School groups, singers, choirs and the USAFE Band will help to bring across the American Christmas spirit." The program will start at noon and continue until 2 p.m. "From 2 to 4 p.m. we scheduled a break, since we noticed last year that the majority of people will either come during lunch time or in the later afternoon," said GACO employee Helen Tesfai. The Ramstein Officers' Spouses' Club will send a Santa Claus, who will pass out candy canes to children and welcome visitors. ROSC and the German-American and International Women's Club Kaiserslautern will buy the candy. The following is a schedule of performers: · noon: The Royal Chorus Show Choir, Ramstein High School · 12:30 p.m.: Step Team, Ramstein High School · 1 p.m.: Ramstein Middle School Band · 1:30 p.m.: Kaiserslautern High School Jazz Band · 2 p.m. Break · 4 p.m.: Lea Scavetta, singer · 5 p.m.: U.S. Air Forces in Europe Band Five Star Brass Quintett · 6:30 p.m.: Less Garrett, freestyle dancer · 7 p.m.: Kaiserslautern Elementary School Choir · 8 p.m.: Frontline Worship Band "We hope it won't rain and a lot of German neighbors come out to watch our program," Mrs. Tesfai said.
