I thought that the noun in that sentence was “band” and “Leland Stanford Jr. University” describes the band.  Thus, “ The one, the only, the truly incomparable, Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band.” shortens to “The Band”, not “The Stanford University”.

Thanks to Yvonne for remembering the full phrase we left it out of!
