The answer to the meta is what you need to get from one side of the grid to the other
Yet another meta puzzle that was inspired by my failed attempts to solve someone else's meta! Hope you enjoy this puzzle, as you seek the answer to the meta which is what you need to get from one side of the grid to the other. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=83495#p83489
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!
Fun! I needed to do some googling to finish the grid, but learned some things in the process.

Tough grid needed google but a fun puzzle.

I was all set to start counting "floor tiles" when the magic eye effect hit me and I found I didn't have to!
Not too hard to solve, but not too easy to construct I bet. Thanks, Ben!
She's the best! She has an amazing voice. She's also trying to Kickstart her next album and I think she might be struggling to make it. So if you like her, consider supporting the project! :-)

Really enjoyed the puzzle, and spent $1.29 on Audrey's song to boot!

As always, it was a fun puzzle, although I got Naticked a few times (a word I learned recently from another solver). Thanks for the clever meta!
