No one likes it when a holiday gets washed out. But when it leads to a new meta puzzle, that just goes to prove the truth in that old saying about clouds and silver linings. The answer to the meta is a song of the season.
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!
Instantly solved the meta at 16A, but needed a few reveals to complete the grid, especially over in the IBIS region Fun idea though, and well timed. :) Thanks.
