Formed in 2001, this quartet jokes that at first it simply existed because it's name was a fun spoof on the popular pop music duo Hall & Oates.   But, as the respective four section leaders for the Holland Windmill Chorus, they found themselves as the teaching quartet for the group, and soon decided to learn some songs of their own as well.  As time went on, the quartet found that its "relative harmony" sounded pretty good and they decided to become a registered quartet.  Thus was the beginning of a beautiful relationship...   2001 Highlights: *Won "Pro" category at Chester P.
