Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a TV family
Well, here's another "week 5" for you! This is a bit of an unusual grid for me: it's relatively low on the word count (72 in total), and there's less 3-letter words than usual. So yes, it might be more of a challenge to fill in the grid. But at least I've provided you with a meta hint! The answer to the meta is a TV family.

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
