What term describes the group of attendants at a traditional quinceañera?

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

A court of honor usually consists of friends or relatives chosen by the quinceañera. Its members may participate in the entrance, formal photographs, ceremonies, and choreographed dances at the reception.

The court traditionally includes damas, or female attendants, and chambelanes, or male attendants. Modern celebrations may use different combinations, omit gendered roles, or include only a few attendants.

The court of honor is sometimes compared with a wedding party, but the two are not identical. A quinceañera is a birthday and coming-of-age celebration rather than a marriage ceremony, and the number and duties of attendants are flexible.
