Grant Park Symphony Orchestra
The Grant Park Symphony Orchestra or simply the Grant Park Orchestra is a publicly sponsored symphony orchestra that provides free performances in the Grant Park Music Festival during the summer months in Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois.
 Its sister organization is the Grant Park Chorus; the orchestra and chorus hold both joint appearances and separate performances.
 The orchestra was founded in 1944 and the chorus in 1962.
 In 1944, the orchestra was formed under the direction of Walter L. Larsen and Chicago Symphony Orchestra manager George Kuyper.
 Rudolph Ganz conducted the first concerts.
 In 1978, when the Petrillo Music Shell was relocated, the Orchestra became part of a tradition of Independence Day Eve concerts accompanied by fireworks and attended by well over 100,000 spectators.
 Their rendition of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" marked the culmination of the event and was choreographed to be synchronous with howitzer blasts and a crescendo of fireworks.
 Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne wanted to put an end to the large Independence Day Eve concert in order to reduce costs and differentiate herself from her predecessors, but was convinced not to by Grant Park Music Festival concert manager Steven Ovitzky.
 One year, Byrne celebrated the event with Muhammad Ali at her side.
May Day Eve
"May Day Eve" is a short story written by Filipino National Artist Nick Joaquin.
 Written after World War II, it became one of Joaquin's “signature stories” that became a classic in Philippine literature in English.
 Together with Joaquin's other stories like "The Mass of St. Sylvester", "Doña Jeronima" and "Candido’s Apocalypse", "May Day Eve" utilized the theme of "magic realism" long before the genre was made a trend in Latin American novels.
 Published in 1947, it is a story originally intended for adult readers, but has later become a required and important reading material for Filipino students. Independence Day (Pakistan)
Independence Day (Urdu: ‎ ; "Yaum-e Āzādī"), observed annually on 14 August, is a national holiday in Pakistan.
 It commemorates the day when Pakistan achieved independence and was declared a sovereign nation following the end of the British Raj in 1947.
 Pakistan came into existence as a result of the Pakistan Movement, which aimed for the creation of an independent Muslim state in the north-western regions of South Asia via partition.
 The movement was led by the All-India Muslim League under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
 The event was brought forth by the Indian Independence Act 1947 under which the British Raj gave independence to the Dominion of Pakistan which comprised West Pakistan (present-day Pakistan) and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
 In the Islamic calendar, the day of independence coincided with Ramadan 27, the eve of which, being Laylat al-Qadr, is regarded as sacred by Muslims. Independence Day (Young Justice)
