What term describes the formal court of attendants at a traditional quinceañera?

The formal court of attendants at a traditional quinceañera is called the court of honor.

The court of honor generally consists of young people selected by the honoree and family. Its members may participate in entrances, formal photographs, choreographed dances, and other parts of the reception. The exact size and composition differ widely.

In Spanish-language descriptions, the court may be called the corte de honor. It is sometimes compared with a wedding party because attendants have visible ceremonial roles, but a quinceañera court is not a marriage party and does not imply that the honoree is getting married.

Some celebrations use only a few attendants, while others omit a court entirely. Modern events may also include friends of different genders and people outside the traditional age range.
