Exclamation Are there too many "the"s?

Dear language experts,

I wrote the following sentence, but I'm not very happy with all the "the"s in it. Are there too many of them?

On the night of the event, the chairman of the board, the school principal, the seniors, the teachers and the students, again, welcomed Mr. Lin heartily.
