Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a 6-letter word
Here's an interesting piece of trivia about the cover of the Beatles album "Help!": they are actually spelling out "N-U-J-V" in semaphore. Apparently, the photographer did not like the arm arrangements with the band spelling "H-E-L-P." And with that, it's on to the puzzle! The answer to the meta is a 6-letter word.

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!
