Having payed "Pomp and Circumstance" scores of times for graduation ceremonies, I can tell you it has two solid beats per measure, the first be being slightly more accented.

Mixed meter is when one piece of music has multiple meters or time signatures during the piece. A simple example: A song's verse is in 4/4, but the chorus is in 3/4 time. However, mixed meter more commonly means that the meter changes frequently (often every measure) during a piece. In these cases, the lower number in the time signature usually remains constant. For example, the meter might change every measure from 3/8 to 6/8 to 5/8 to 9/8 to 12/8, etc.

4 beats in a bar in this song. This is the general trait for pop songs.
3 per bar
Three quarter beats to a bar. That means every bar contains the equivalent of three quarter notes, the first of the three beats being stressed and the other two unstressed. This creates the familiar ONE-two-three, ONE-two-three rhythm of a waltz.
