If these ladies look familiar it is no “Illusion”! Between them they have over 100 years of barbershop experience. They have been singing together for the past 10 years. Quartet competition in Region 5 is fierce with anywhere from 15 to 25 quartets competing. “Illusion” has won Second Place Quartet in 2004 and Fourth Place in 2008. They have placed in the top 10 in other years.

Michelle Reifsteck is a stay-at-home mom. Joanie Kouka originally hails from Canada, but has lived in the States for 45 years. Betty Wiseman is a former school secretary. Chris Reifsteck is a registered nurse. These ladies enjoy shopping together, laughing together, shopping together, going to movies together and - oh, did we mention shopping together?! (Check out their matching door mats sometime.) These gals are such good friends they even go camping together serenading everyone in the campground. But most of all, they enjoy singing together.
