How would you like 5/4 with triplets? Listen to the drums and then the brass around 1:20.

We did the offertory from Leonard Bernstein’s Mass when I was in marching band, which is in 3/8+3/4. Basically you’d do one slow step for the 3/8 measure, then three fast steps for the 3/4 measure. So it was a slow/fast/fast/fast pattern that still added up to 4 steps every 2 measures.
