Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is comprised of two words with eight letters in total
Here's a puzzle for any music fans out there! This turned out to be a difficult meta to put together. Hopefully there are enough signposts for you to get to the meta answer, which is comprised of two words with eight letters in total. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=109055#p109055
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!
