Both Sides Now (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a 7-letter word
Joni Mitchell's song "Both Sides Now" is a beautiful song with amazing lyrics full of deep melancholy. On a personal level, I actually have a childhood memory of my father playing the guitar and singing this song. Only problem is I misheard the lyrics and thought he was singing about looking at both sides of clowns, which didn't make much sense to me at the time! And now the song (and not that memory!) has inspired this meta, the answer to which is a 7-letter word. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=178941#p178941
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!
