four beats in a bar
3 per bar
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.

3 per bar
Well, the 8 means that there are, jeez it's hard to explain but you know how there are 4 beats in a bar? Well if there are 8 NOTES in a bar, but 4 BEATS in a bar, then that means that the 8 notes are all quavers. This means that the BEATS are all counted in QUAVERS [Taa-aas] . The 6 represents how many BEATS in a bar. This is quite unusual for a beginner because the 6 in this song means that there are 6 BEATS in a bar, not 4. Altogether, it means that there are 6 QUAVER beats in a bar. To make it easier for you, 4/4 timing: The first 4 means that there are 4 NOTES in a bar, which means that the song is counted in CROTCHETS [Taas]. The second 4 represents how many BEATS in a bar. Altogether, it means that there 4 CROTCHET beats in a bar.
