Connor Marshall and Anika Weibgen, who graduated last year, joined the Top Class Music show as a result of their excellent VCE Music Performance examination scores while current year 12 student Tai Hindson was invited to perform his music composition at Top Class Sound.
Girton Grammar head Clayton Massey said it was a welcome result for the students who had to complete many music lessons and recitals via Zoom last year.

"Both students have been tremendous contributors to the Girton music programme for many years," Dr Massey said.
"Anika plays the oboe and was a member of Girton's BASS Band, Senior Concert Band, Wind Symphony, Symphony Orchestra and Junior Advanced Band. She was Captain of Wind Symphony and Symphony Orchestra.
"Connor plays classical guitar and has been an invaluable member and captain of Girton's Segovia Guitar ensemble and the VCE guitar quartet.
"Tai is an incredible music composer, and his original composition will be performed alongside Girton alumni on violin, cello and piano."
Dr Massey said during lockdown last year Girton's music department did not miss a single week of lessons or classes.
"Our music staff are incredibly dedicated to their students," he said. "This was reflected in outstanding VCE music performance, investigations, and style and composition examination results at Girton last year," he said.
Following year 12, Anika began studying music performance at the University of Melbourne and won the Bromley Julian Oboe Scholarship while Connor is completing an electrician apprenticeship. Tai is continuing his VCE studies this year.
"We are very proud of Connor, Anika, and Tai and so pleased that these young musicians will share their talent with audiences in Melbourne," Dr Massey said.
"No matter where their music takes them, the journey for these students has been formative, and they should feel pleased with the contribution they have made to the music programme at Girton.
