The answer to the meta is literally where you find the meta answer
I had the idea for this puzzle in my "possible metas" notebook for months - months, I tell you! But it never felt right. Then, today, I realised what was missing. So of course I had to immediately see if I could even construct a grid to contain it all. And lo and behold it was possible! The answer to the meta is literally where you find the meta answer. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=201376#p201376
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!

Once I understood, just had a teensy bit of trouble with the first themer; I positioned the T with the IC. But the joke was on me. (Ooh, there's a mechanism! ) Nice one; thanks, Ben!
Thanks, Ben! I'd have gotten it a lot quicker if I'd been looking at the right themer! Doh
MatthewL 🤓8:43 · 2025-04-08T21:43:09.216Z
Took a few tries, but finally saw it. Went down a deep rabbit hole with CLIQUES and JEDIQUEST due to the IQUES string, but finally saw the larger picture. Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!
Berto 1s · 2025-04-09T11:18:51.334Z
Found the same hole! Ben’s 4th nudge saved the day…
boharr 3s · 2025-04-08T22:27:36.953Z
I did what whimsy did at first. Still not sure about an alternate path.
Just got back to this.... I found the 4 insider references but paused for a minute with 21D (D)JED + 34D (CL)IQUES fitting into 66A JEDIQUES(T)... Well, that wasn't gonna go anywhere! :P Thanks, Ben!
Well I found the different "jokes" and I saw the "ins" butI was stubbornly trying to concentrate on "OMISSIONS", so JEST left over DIQUE and CLIQUES contains LIQUE, seemed like a natural for that odd string but it did not work elsewhere (almost worked with TARC and TAR but TAR did not have an IN). Then I looked for donkey or ass or zebra (EQUID) and wagon, chariot, etc. (CART) but again nothing. I saw that the IN words crossed the themers and just dismissed it, that is not the constructors fault it is mine.
In the end I found it quite a LATTICEWORK (Ben or any Brit cognizant may get this before others)
