Meta Prompt

This might be a tricky grid, but keep persevering because the meta mechanism should hit you right between the eyes, revealing the answer which is a type of punch. Good luck! Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=81820#p81820
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!
