Mike's Marching Bands puzzle is now available. I will work on this in the morning with my coffee after struggling tonight with his Crossword Contest puzzle.

Thanks for this posting/reminder!
I, on the other hand -- also struggling with WSJ -- am going to stop and try this on the very off chance that Mike has deviously slipped a nudge in regarding "Starting Positions"! :D

About an hour later:
Well, I got the Marching Bands but no clues for his other puzzle -- I guess I knew it would be "Very small, as chances" go!

Amazed at 1 / A. Dissatisfied with 12 though.

A pleasant romp around (and around) Mike’s Marching Bands.

Stuck on top row after the first answer.

So, row A, 2; and “words on jointing a zoom call.”

Google is no help.
