Definitely not true. A university can purchase whatever quality level of band uniform it’s willing to spend the money on. There are no ”categories” of higher quality university band uniforms reserved only for “top tier” universities. lolWhen they were out on the field next to UF (before we beat them in football) you could tell how overdue this was. I remember saying something out loud and the UCF fan next to me told me that because UF has a higher "category" band they get better uniforms and those feathers in their caps, the fluffy furry looking hats. Not sure if that's true...
