Too Many Chaperones
After getting in, Clare also noticed the number of chaperones in the venue- there were so many. At some points, it seemed that there were four students for every chaperone. In context, it seemed like there were too many chaperones for comfort.
Male Chaperones
To make matters worse, there were many male chaperones that made Clare feel uncomfortable. They would stand on the balconies from above and watch the students. However, she and her boyfriend, James, were not going to let the creepy chaperones ruin their night.
