Different.
Different keys, styles (time periods too), accompaniments, tempos, colors. Different instruments if you can... trombone if you play euphonium, F tuba (or Bb/Eb etc) if you play C tuba.
Speak to your audience. Let them enjoy the experience with you. Find out something unusual or interesting (or unusual AND interesting) about each piece and let them in on it.
