I don't know that ever seen a pedal note in an actual band piece. Lot of them in solos, particularly in cadenzas, but that's a whole 'nother matter. The lowest that I can recall in an actual band piece was in a published transcription of Liszt's "Les Preludes" that we did in high school back in the early '60s. Low C (above pedal Bb), in a 16th-note run. Not east on a non-comp four-valve.

First piece that comes to mind is Holst Suite no. 2 in 'F' which gets down to low concert 'C' (4-1-3) and lots of low 'F's (4). Since it's public domain you can look at your part here:

It is confusing! First, your idea makes sense because of the context. I may have jumped to a conclusion. However, very often 8va is placed below a passage to indicate an octave down. 8vb is clearer when used. (Then there is an argument that either should really say 7va/7vb because you are moving up or down by 7 notes!)
