Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a 15-letter phrase
Here's another puzzle I constructed last year but didn't bother to write an introduction for at the time. Talk about lying down on the job! No matter. I'm sure my being wide of the mark then won't prevent you from having a whale of a time with this puzzle now! The answer to the meta is a 15-letter phrase.

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!
